Those are good points. Perhaps I didn't make a radical enough change. Quick idea for a new checkpoint: 6.5 If any general rules of interpretation are intended, they must be stated explicitly. Rationale: Document policies of the W3C do not require a particular interpretation when conflicts are found in verbiage. No conflicts should be deliberately introduced, but it is acceptable to state a general rule to resolve such conflicts. It is also acceptable to state a general rule for under-specified behavior. The above is very quick and sketchy, in time for the teleconference. .................David Marston
