Hello, Martin, Thank you for your enlightening comments [1]. It will be hard to persuade some editors. For example in English, "we" (except "editorial *we*" which is discouraged [2]) is considered good usage when speaking for an organization. Please allow me one final question. Since W3C uses English for all of its specifications, would it not be the translator's role to remove pronouns?
