Note that I agree with the proposal whole and as is, but not in part - if we are going to change it then we have to start getting consensus on a new version.

As the editor, this is a pretty important question, and it is not clear to me what you are proposing. cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathieNevile Opera Software, Standards Group je parle français -- hablo español -- jeg lærer norsk http://my.opera.com/chaals Try Opera: http://www.opera.com
