That would be me ... it should be up-to-date now (with the latest 
information
from Julian's site).  In particular, I've linked the issues list directly
to Julian's issues list, since he's maintaining that document.  Also, I've
made a copy of Julian's "latest" and made it version 05.1.

This is just a placeholder for our deciding to marshal things differently.
In particular, suppose we had a request header that specified "return 
error
information in html format" (that was contemplated at one time).  Then the
error info would be marshalled as html in the response body, rather than 
in the xml format that is used by default.

I agree.

Definitely.  Since we are (or should be) at last call, now's the time
to nit-pick.

Yes!
