I just found a fairly elaborate web site that seems
completely devoted to complaining about the differences
between the draft version of HTML 3.2 and the
final HTML 3.2 Recommendation.
It would seem a more simple and effective to just
follow the instructions on the draft and send their
comments to www-html and/or www-html-editor. As
far as I know, we never heard from them.
They don't give any contact information. Anybody
know how to reach them?

The Problem
The final draft version of Wilbur lived from August 1996 to
January 1997.
Many authors validated their work to that standard, believing in
good faith
that they were validating to a standard that was indeed a
standard.
But when W3C "went final" on the Wilbur standard in January, they
changed it in some fairly significant ways at the last minute.
(Technoid
types may be curious about the details of these changes.)
Then too, for all the last-minute changes made to Wilbur, every
one of
these changes will almost certainly be un-done in the next version
of
HTML (codenamed Cougar).
