(Well http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Aug/0029.html I have a bit of a problem with the priorities, and I have a problem with the breadth of the discussions, but volume does not factor into it much; and I disagree that having people flesh out proposals for specification text would help (I would expect quite the opposite; I assume of course that you mean proposals in this sense, as this appears to have been an issue of terminology, and rigorous attention to terminilogy is what I would associate with specification text). In the case here though, the first mail in the thread was "Is there a draft that discusses this? I couldn't find one." Even if you add the "background-repeat: extend" in the Subject, this does not establish context well enough for anyone to follow, so downstream confusion and inattention is to be expected.) -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
