What matters is if the current specification is buggy. I agree with you that the age calculation specification is ugly and wasteful, but I do not agree that it is `in error', i.e. that it has a bug that must be fixed for 1.1 to work. You have not convinced me that something really bad will happen if the age calculations in the current spec are used. Now, I would applaud it if the obvious changes are made to the age calculation text in the spec. Not because the changes would fix an error, but because the changes would make the spec less ugly. > ...Roy T. Fielding Koen.
