I think that’s the crux of the issue. The rest of your points in the ala article are a bit outdated, but that’s understandable when you dismiss the whole spec on these principled grounds. I’m hoping the CSSWG can have a good discussion next week about when separation of concerns MUST apply. I’m fairly certain I understand your position, and I’ll make sure it’s represented in the discussion. Thanks, Alan
