I think we are running up against my lack of understanding of your view of how standards should work again. I'm still hoping that one day you might continue our conversation wherein I was trying to understand where you were coming from: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2008Nov/0233.html Without understanding your positions, I really don't know how to address your feedback. (For instance, above, you use the word "defined" in a way that is completely at odds with my understanding. A feature is fully "defined", as I understand it, by the combination of authoring and implementation conformance criteria, which we have for <a name>, yet you do not consider it to be "defined".) -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
