possible bugs in pub-rules checker

Hello Jules/Webadmins,
I ran the pub-rules checker on the latest SML and SML-IF specifications and ran across 2 issues. Can you please take a look?

SML spec: http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2007/xml/sml/build/sml.html?content-type=text/html;%20charset=utf-8
SML-IF spec: http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2007/xml/sml/build/sml-if.html?content-type=text/html;%20charset=utf-8

I get the following error about IPP inconsistency. John, the group's chair, modified the WG home page to have the same text as in the boilerplate text but the error does not go away. Either the checker is using an old cached copy of the SML WG home page or it has a bug.


14.  It MUST include this text related to patent policy requirements (with suitable links inserted; see guidelines for linking to disclosure pages<http://www.w3.org/2005/07/13-pubrules-disclosure>):

This document was produced by a group operating under the 5 February 2004 W3C Patent Policy<http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/>. W3C maintains a public list of any patent disclosures<http://www.w3.org/2005/08/online_xslt/@@URI%20%20to%20IPP%20status%20or%20other%20page@@> made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent. An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains Essential Claim(s)<http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/#def-essential> must disclose the information in accordance with section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy<http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/#sec-Disclosure>.
Include this source code:

Note: Contact the Communications Team for suitable adaptations in the case where a document has been published jointly by more than one group. In the adaptation, be sure that the text for informative-only specs or specs not going to Rec is the same as the standard text.

    *   Error. Although the boilerplate text is correct, there is an inconsistency with respect to IPP for the group identified by http://www.w3.org/XML/SML/: Error. The link to the public disclosures page does not have the right link text; please refer to boilerplate.

The pub rules checker works correctly for SML-IF but errors out for SML spec (does not check rules after rule 12) therefore I could not check that doc completely. I had faced similar bug during CR publication. I do not know how to resolve this.
