I don't think you, in your role as representative of the World Wide Web Con- sortium, should support the harmful actions of this "sideshowbarker" person. As you know, my patch came with a very explicit request for feedback, and this "sideshowbarker" person has used my patch without providing any kind of feedback to the project. Legally that's fine, but having been a maintainer of HTML Tidy for a decade, and having provided this patch, I find the behavior of this "sideshowbarker" person rather disappointing and objectionable. -- 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.
