I try to keep up with all spec changes but sometimes miss one or two. So I'm very glad we've got a community of people supporting the tool, and caring about it and paying a lot of attention to the details. And within the community you stand out as somebody who for many years has been a major asset to the work (including before I ever got involved with it myself) -- in particular in helping others on this list understand better how all this stuff works (and explaining things better than I know I could). --Mike -- Michael[tm] Smith https://people.w3.org/mike
