Who said I was surprised? I _am_ surprised now that you admit it,
especially since http://www.w3.org/Consortium/ seems to give a different
picture.

I merely characterized the HTML 4.0 draft. And I was just stating
something, not blaiming anyone. It seems that I stated a fact.

I did not expect the Spanish inquisition to scrutinize my understanding
when I sent my comments. Luckily the autoreply message from
www-html-editor@w3.org was quite nice and polite.
