I'd just like to make it clear that I had no dispute with that procedure as such; I was just worried that some of the remarks in the guidelines _seemed_ to say (or might easily be misunderstood to be saying) that this or that had the status of "required" in an HTML specification, when the intention had been only to say that they are considered "required" in the context of the guidelines. I was only trying to suggest some minor rewording of the relevant sentences to clarify that - nothing more. > Having said all this, I will say that this whole aspect is a bit > murky. I didn't see a major problem at all. Just a couple of issues - one, the possibility for misunderstanding, and the other that there was a section that had ended up containing a contradiction. In the 0414 version, the various amendments seem to me to have produced an entirely reasonable compromise that has avoided these eariler problems. (The guideline document still fails HTML validation though, for reasons that could easily be corrected.)
