fantasai, 

Here is the /TR style sheet response from the Device APIs WG (DAP). I am sending the text version as I have already completed the web questionnaire on behalf of the Web Annotation WG.

Need to make sure styles work and are incorporated with ReSpec.

Some old specs need to be maintained, easier to minimize changes if old styles are still available etc to minimize differences.
Need way to specify 'use legacy', perhaps by year. (e.g. generate diff without changes due to styling...)
