Re: Being pedantic: common typo in specs

Hi Mike,

Yes, that seems to be a common spelling error. Unfortunately, our policy
at W3C is that we don't touch published documents (for historical
purposes), even with all their bugs. We encourage editors to correct
mistakes in later drafts. 

We do have spelling tools available to editors, but sometimes typos
slip through.

Thanks for letting us know,

 _ Ian
