The Last Call Announcement is premature for that reason and because the changes to the document have not received adequate review. These changes are not clearly indicated as required either, in fact, the pointer to the rather inadequate CVS logs (e.g., the removal of showNotification is listed only as "Editorial cleanup") goes to the wrong document. The lack of review should be obvious from the errors in nearly all the examples: in 6.5.1 it uses made-up schemes without pointing that out in any way, 6.4.2 invokes a .forEach method on a NodeList that a NodeList is not defined to have, in 6.4.1 the JSON code is malformed due to usage of the wrong quote marks, and 6.1.1 fails to escape the markup it attempts to insert, leading to undesired effects if special characters are used in the values. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
