Here is a side by side version:
http://www.d.umn.edu/~lcarlson/research/ld-rendering2.html

I tried to make the images in the style of the spec's current drop

I swapped it into the Change Proposal.

If people prefer the other version [2] we can switch it back or we can
delete the images all together.

Best Regards,
Laura
