All the generated text comes from Robin Berjon's ReSpec, which is a JS
library for specs. Is it important enough to access editor's drafts via
HTTPS to file a bug with ReSpec?

I'll delete that word from the example. My original source had 'reap-ear'

Is there widespread agreement about this? Lots of books use old-style
figures in tables, and some fonts even include old-style tabular figures.
Financial tables may have very different requirements than scientific
