Bjoern, If you are suggesting that the following sentence be removed: This is also the default value and therefore it is recommended that content do not specify this parameter since it adds no additional value. Then I agree. This sentence is superfluous. User agents must support the keyword "meet" and it is legal for content to use it. What good does it do to recommend that content developers not use the keyword? It's just a wasted sentence in the spec.

The <meet> is separated from the <align> value by one or more spaces and must equal the string meet. This is also the default value and therefore it is recommended that content do not specify this parameter since it adds no additional value. Interoperability seems unaffected by specification of this default value and the specification does not require strictly conforming content to omit the default value for other attributes, I therefore think it is not correct to prohibit use of 'meet' in strictly conforming content and would kindly request this requirement to be removed from the draft. regards, -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
