Regrets/Status of Review

Time to actually bother to send regrets for tommorrow's  
teleconference (as I'm off on holiday from tomorrow (10:50+01) till  
2007-07-31), on grounds that one part of the agenda does actually  
effect me: the spec review.

So far, I have reviewed sections 3.2.1–3.2.6 (part of "common  
microsyntaxes" — I have, for various technical reasons, postponed the  
review of that section), as well as "Documents and document  
fragments", "Global attributes", "The root element", and the first  
two subsections of "Document metadata" (|head| and |title|). I  
currently hope to complete the review of everything bar the parsing  
section by the start of school on 2007-08-21T08:45+01.

Now, on to what is truly relevant (and probably should be mentioned):  
the test cases for the numbers subsection of common microsyntaxes  
(<http://geoffers.no-ip.com/svn/php-html-5-direct/tests/numbersTest>)  
are now complete, and in JSON. There is a read-me file in the same  
directory of the SVN repository providing further details. Anyone  
able to test the current behaviour of UAs should be invited to do so.  
These tests follow the current version of the spec without flaw, even  
when there are mistakes contained within the spec itself[1][2][3].
