I'm glad he finally said so, but certainly his actions were not in good faith overall. Not a big deal at this point, but I was honestly confused why he was suddenly pushing for more HTTP-related requirements in the HTML spec, when he'd always argued against this sort of thing. A more straightforward way to illustrate his point would have been to point out this divergence, ask whether it is appropriate to somehow address in HTML5, and if not, how it differs from things that are specified in HTML5, such as content sniffing. These are reasonable questions, but trying to trick people is not a nice way to go about determining the answer. Regards, Maciej
