* Björn Hörmann stopped his participation to the development of  
validators.
   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-qa-dev/2006Jul/0011

   He explained that the lack of answers to certain
   precise technical questions by HTML WG following
   the W3C Process was making the development of
   validators too difficult to be  really effective
   for his time. He thought his time will be more
   useful in CSS WG and WebAPI WG as an invited expert.
