Yea verily!
Of course what this says is that specifying something by a committe is fraught with difficulty and rarely will the documentation match reality until we are at the end of the process. Whilst BrowserUK does make the valid point that the spec documents don't yet reflect much of the work in the developer community, it's nice to hear that those of us in the non *nix world don't have to worry about merlyns often somewhat myopic view of the world of computing. We might not like *doze, but we do have to deal with it.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
