Well, I'd like more help understanding what they expect. I have tried to figure out how to acknowledge these expectations, and I couldn't find a natural place to put it in the documents, nor could I figure out what to say. If you'd like to suggest specific text for the spec, I'm happy to consider it. Otherwise, please help me understand by telling me a story or something. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
