A minor point, but one that perceptibly enhances the appearance of W3C specs: I was wondering if it was perhaps time to start using curly quotes in W3C specs. For instance, here's the abstract from CSS3 Values and Units: This CSS3 module describes the various values and units that CSS properties accept. Also, it describes how values are computed from "specified" (which is what the cascading process yields) through "computed" and "used" into "actual" values. It could (and probably should) be This CSS3 module describes the various values and units that CSS properties accept. Also, it describes how values are computed from “specified” (which is what the cascading process yields) through “computed” and “used” into “actual” values. As well as being typographically correct, this would also make it clearer when quotes were part of the language syntax and when they were being used as real quote marks. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu XML in a Nutshell 3rd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xian3/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596007647/cafeaulaitA/ref=nosim
