Thank you for replying at length, though I'm sorry to say that you missed this follow-up -- perhaps because of using the buggy web archive to read www-style: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Apr/0086.html I've delaying replying for a couple of days partly because I'm sorry that you've spent the time analysing the problem in detail, and don't like bearing the bad news. The least I can do now is to try to find the thread referred to in that message. Looking just for messages sent by me and that contain the string "pars" ignoring case, the following look relevant and include the information I was thinking of: http://www.w3.org/mid/20110107194042.GC21438@bowman.infotech.monash.edu.au http://www.w3.org/mid/20110306141647.GA16349@bowman.infotech.monash.edu.au http://www.w3.org/mid/20110307023114.GA17954@bowman.infotech.monash.edu.au http://www.w3.org/mid/20110307053404.GB17954@bowman.infotech.monash.edu.au (The following doesn't raise any new information, it just replies to Boris Zbarsky's first reply, which I believe was at some point marked as the official reply on the matter: http://www.w3.org/mid/20110307162107.GA20019@bowman.infotech.monash.edu.au .) I can't tell from a quick read whether this next message introduces any new information regarding solutions or not, but it does present evidence that multiple implementers have misinterpreted the existing text: http://www.w3.org/mid/20110307162107.GA20019@bowman.infotech.monash.edu.au I've also started looking into the problem of why the mail archives are misbehaving. I notice that hypermail's archiving of the hypermail mailing list doesn't display this problem: both backwards and forwards links are present for navagating among a thread spanning more than one month. (Whereas in the w3c archives, the In-reply-to hyperlinks work across month boundaries, but there's no corresponding link in the other direction.) I see that a newer version of hypermail is available, and that one of its changes is related to replies to messages of a different period; though another of its features might conflict with the w3c patch, since it looks like the new version implements one of the features that the w3c patch added. That's about as far as I've got. (For some reason, I'm having difficulties applying the w3c-0.50 patch; though I haven't yet had a look at what's going on there.) pjrm.
