Stupid user agents. As far as I'm concerned, tightening up wording is fine, so long as it maintains the intent of the original proposal. I would guess most reviewers of the Change Proposal were considering primarily the concept of the change, not the exact word choices. Otherwise they would probably have noted the fact that the original was ungrammatical and did not state any conformance requirements for either documents or implementations. That being said, I'm waiting for Julian to check whether the revisions (committed as a separate change) maintain his intent before closing the issue. Regards, Maciej
