Does that story still > hold? I encourage you to identify the section of text in the draft spec and/or the delta that Stephen supplied that you find to be unclear? It would be best for all concerned if conformance and interoperability three years from now were defined by what the spec actually says and what the tests actually cover and not be based on what somebody thought somebody else meant when they made a post to a mailing list three years ago. Even better, can you propose specific text which would clarify the situation? - Sam Ruby
