I think 1. is not only about the related process (i.e. the need to go back to last call), but rather than introducing another substantive change creates higher risks that we get something wrong, or not described in enough details, and that we then need to do further changes down the line. In this case, not counting whitespace opens plenty of related questions: * should we count as extraneous the part of a style sheet that doesn't apply to @media handheld? * what is the exact algorithm to detect extraneous white space in css? * what about comments in css? non-well formed comments? So, I would still err on the side of caution, and keep that one for a next version. (But I won't be around much in the upcoming few days, so if there is consensus to do otherwise, don't count this as an objection) Dom > [1] http://www.w3.org/2008/04/17-bpwg-minutes.html#item02 > [2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg/2008Jan/0048.html > [3] http://www.w3.org/2008/04/24-bpwg-minutes.html#item03
