That doesn't bother me.  As a rational person and a professional I 
take offense at many of your statements.

Ian Hickson: "For the record, that section of the spec has been 
rewritten . . . "

Jesse McCarthy: "You're going to need to rewrite 
more of that spec to get it to conform to your revisionist version of 
history."  You'll notice this is directed to you and does not mention 
the working group.

It would seem that you are unable to continue the discussion as you 
are unwilling or unable to face facts.  I simply can not make it any 
simpler than this:

CSS 2 Recommendation, 17.2 The CSS table model
"The following 'display' values assign table semantics to an 
arbitrary element:"

Ian Hickson
"Nothing in CSS affects the semantics [1] of anything in any 
document."

Those statements contradict each other and the CSS Rec. takes 
precedence, obviously.  I asked you to explain this discrepancy and 
you have offered no explanation whatsoever.
