I know Adam already asked that, but I don't recall seeing an answer. We can't simply break formerly-conforming implementations. What's important is IMHO that the problem is explained, and that we advise implementations what do to. Which keyword we use is unlikely to have a big effect on what implementations will do in practice. Best regards, JulianReceived on Friday, 15 October 2010 07:01:25 UTC
