Hi,

I understand that this spec is not very active, but who is taking care 
of these issues? I got no reply at all to the quoted message in more 
than two weeks.

Some of these issues are minor and only relevant in corner cases, but 
some would cause significant changes to the layout in "normal" usage of 
these features.

Regards,
