I am surprised to see that Lachlan and Ian are so keen on explaining other invited experts about Catch22-s and stumblestones of the spec, that they don't see their own misintpretations. For Lachlan's information, it is Ian who - in his eagerness to "help" dr Olaf Hoffmann - has "confused" the meaning of the 'prose content' term with the 'prose' term - as applied in the spec. As for the link you points to, Ian pointed to the same link. At least it should now be proved behound doubt that 'prose content' was a ill chosen and confusing term. Imagine what the audience will say, when even the editor and the experts can't talk about this subject in reasonably clear way. -- leif halvard silli
