http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=1059 suggests that our definition of specification is hard to parse; firstly, because it's not in proper English, with a suggested rewording: """A specification is a set of technical requirements which aim at defining a reliable interface for accomplishing a given task""" (instead of "to accomplish") that I think is good. Then the commenter argues that an interface can't accomplish anything - it's passive entity; of course I agree that an interface can't accomplish anything, but I think the new sentence only says that the interface defined should be reliable for accomplishing a given task. So unless anybody disagrees, I suggest simply changing "to accomplish" into "for accomplishing". (I plan to send several editorial issues proposals, that I think should be formally adopted in batch during next week teleconf - but discussing them beforehand on the mailing list would help that a lot) Dom -- Dominique Hazaël-Massieux - http://www.w3.org/People/Dom/ W3C/ERCIM mailto:dom@w3.orgReceived on Monday, 7 March 2005 17:37:37 GMT
