I can't understand a 300 years old text properly if I don't have access to the year it has been published. In fact, human language is a rare case where each word have a version with a span of years. -- Karl Dubost - http://www.w3.org/People/karl/ W3C Conformance Manager, QA Activity Lead QA Weblog - http://www.w3.org/QA/ *** Be Strict To Be Cool ***
