Reply-To: Now that the smoke has cleared... The product in question is a standard, NOT a program. If something is used to validate a standard, it is part of the STANDARD. In this case, DFSG covers SOFTWARE, not standards. So we've got to decide what to do with this standard. Another example of this is the HTML validators. If we changed one of those to recognize NETSCAPE and IE tags, it wouldn't be an HTML 4.0 validator, will it? Standard validators CANNOT be modified, because doing so could potentially change the standard. Therefore they are above the DFSG (which really has no jurisdiction in a standard anyway). Jarrod
