Just wanted to reply to this one quickly before I head home. If you are referring to comments that are rendered in red and begin with ";" yes. If you mean things that begin "Editorial Comment:" not necessarily. I believe a draft specification should be clear and terse, but also give an indication of those issues which are still not resolved or immature. An affect of specification maturity is the elimination of those comments; until then I think they are necessary to focus attention/comment from reviewers and ensure that (warn) reviewers/implementors do not read a specification as if the whole thing is evenly baked. _________________________________________________________ Joseph Reagle Jr. Policy Analyst mailto:reagle@w3.org XML-Signature Co-Chair http://w3.org/People/Reagle/
