Re: feedback on HTML5 A technical specification for Web developers

Thanks Steve, I spoke to Mike regarding this earlier.
The current plan is that he will get in touch with you to pull something together… longer term I plan to work on something with Mike, in person, in Tokyo when I visit in July.

Cheers, 


Ben

At the time i provided a modded style sheet which removed the issues.  As I also suggested before, if you don't have the time or inclination to update HTML5 Edition for Web Authors I would be happy to take over.
