Editorial comment: Given that all the formulations actually use the phrase "implementation-defined" and not "implementation-dependent", I believe the above text should replace "implementation-dependent" with "implementation-defined". > conformant implementations must document which choice they make. I am not sure there is a clear definition of what a "conformant implementation" is in many W3C Recommendations. Couldn't you simply drop the word "conformant" from each occurrence of "conformant implementation" everywhere it occurs in your proposal without any impact? /paulc Paul Cotton, Microsoft Canada 17 Eleanor Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K2E 6A3 Tel: (425) 705-9596 Fax: (425) 936-7329
