Non-trivial software (TeX being the possible exception), in general, has bugs. Therefore, it is safe to assume that a conformance checker has at least one bug. When the software is not a normative reference implementation, the bugs can be fixed without reissuing the spec when the spec prose and the software disagree. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
