That was why I thought I should point it out - in case you weren't aware
of it (it can be difficult to remember the spelling when one is more
used to a different dialect; for example, until recently I, a native
speaker of the English of England, thought the US spelling of practice
(the noun) was 'practise').

I was simply pointing out that all W3C documents, even those written by
English speakers, are written in American English, the lingua france of
the internet; indeed English spellings (the example I saw was
'cancelled') have on at least one occasion been listed as errors and
have been corrected; and the sentence referred to 'behaviours', which,
as a technical term, is always spelt without the 'u' (e.g., behavior:
url()); and the same document spells it that way four times.

Thanks for pointing it out.
