The problem is that the CSS Working Group doesn't follow the W3C Process for maintaining specifications. Starting with the refusal to subject the proposed errata to the proper review so they can become normative (as it notes, "These errata have the same status as a Working Draft", i.e., not normative), and the deliberate refusal to update the specification with errata applied. Ordinarily, there cannot be normative errata for longer than six months without a revised specification, In order for the corrections to remain normative, the Working Group MUST incorporate them into an edited Recommendation. The Working Group MUST publish the revised Recommendation within six months after the end of the review or secure an extension from the Director. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
