Note that I said *in this case*. As I pointed out, the section is clearly aimed at implementers, not authors, so I don't think it matters that much if some authors can't understand it. Each section of the spec should be written in language suitable for its audience. If there were something too complex for authors to understand, in a section aimed at authors, I'd probably agree it should be clarified, but that is not the case here. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
