A testcase that one part of the spec says should be displayed in one way and another part says should be displayed another way is evidence of an error in the spec. A testcase that the spec says should be displayed one way but you believe should be displayed a different way indicates a potential error in the spec (if your belief is correct). Without one of those types of testcases, you haven't demonstrated an error in the spec in a way that we can understand. The group is opposed to unnecessary changes at this point; many of the changes you propose appear unnecessary. If you believe some are necessary, you should demonstrate this clearly and concisely. Your document is long and and does not clearly separate things that are potentially confusing from those that are incorrect. -David -- L.
