In the past (and for some specs still today), it was done by the editor (e.g. me), as dual-publication. What's "new news" now is that the W3C does this without the editor's participation, and more importantly, while simultaneously decrying the evils of forking specifications, and with virtually no credit to the person doing the actual work. It's this hypocrisy that is new and notable. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
