I will take this opportunity to once again discourage you from using clearly pejorative terms like "obviously bogus". While I do believe that that statement is overreaching, I believe that it does so in a manner that is easily correctable. But more to the point: I don't think that discrediting Leif en passant is a productive way to conduct a constructive conversation on the topic. You previously complimented me and others on attempting to restore a more productive environment here. I encourage you to lead by example. >> Is there a concrete reason to mention libxml2? > > If you don’t mention which particular software hoops are for, people > will continue jumping through the hoops long after it’s no longer > relevant.

I will once again draw the parallel to the HTML5 specification which does not document which of the particular quirks of the existing parsing algorithm were motivated by which browsers. > On Fri, Nov 9, 2012 at 4:01 PM, Sam Ruby <rubys@intertwingly.net> wrote: >> Lacking such bug reports > > I had the text of the first message to this thread open in a Bugzilla > textarea when I specifically asked Paul if the requirement to have a > bug report on file is waived in this case.

Creative snipping there. Whatever might have been said or what you might have thought you heard, I will once again state that the process is quite clear that the next step after the editors initial decision is indeed a bug report: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy-v3.html#note-vs-rec - Sam Ruby
