"5 Good Practice E [...] make it clear when the English prose and the formal language overlaps which one should be held for true in case of discrepancy" -- I would recommend making them _both_ normative and not have one override the other. If prose and formal language are inconsistent, then an error has crept into the specification, and there is no guarentee that the error will be in the one that has been marked non-normative. Whenever there is an inconsistency, the working group should IMHO issue a (normative) errata to address the problem. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
