Lachlan, did you just stop to fire a shot from the hip when had read 
that paragraph of mine?

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.
