aloha, y'all!
During the 28 July teleconference, it was decided by all in attendance that the
current Checkpoint 6.4:
quote
When removing unrecognized markup, alert the author (according to a
configurable schedule). [Priority 2]
unquote
needs to be re-worked. Thus I propose the following:
6.4 When the tool encounters markup which it does not recognize, ensure that it
alerts the author, but that it does not change the unrecognized markup without
the author's consent. [Priority 2]
Which is a sentiment which is, perhaps, more clearly stated thus:
6.4 When the tool encounters markup which it does not recognize, ensure that it
alerts the author. The tool should not change the unrecognized markup without
the author's consent. [Priority 2]
I would also advocate the addition of the following note:
NOTE: This should be implemented on a user-configurable schedule.
