Hi Michael, All,

Yves and Cindy agreed to take the lead to followup on your request. My 
expectation is they will check all of WebApps' specs and if/when a spec 
could be improved, they will file a Bug/Issue accordingly.

Again, if you and/or your colleagues have specific specs that concern 
you, please do let us know.

-Thanks, Art
