I'd like to see any reasoning for the emphasis on *now*. I am not aware that any HTML standard every had it differently, and there are no plans that this get changed. > *) <q>: I think many people say "I don't care", but " are not english > quote signs, so strictly speaking using " is wrong. That indeed might be something discussionworthy - but I'd rather do that on debian-l10n-english instead of debian-www, where more native speakers (and writers) are around and should be able to find (or not) a concensus. I don't think that it is called for a non-native speaker/writer to decide that. > So what I see is that there are things broken, but only "slightly", > and those rules are unwritten and I simply have to find out.

Yet again, what's broken with that? Do you go to remove linebreaks too because they are also unneccessary whitespace, too? It simply doesn't change anything. > *Number of spaces in href=" " Those are clear bugs and even if some browsers work around them if they are only at the start they are still wrong - thus it got fixed after you have mentioned it. > *Do not insert <q> > (though I find the last one unfortunate). That's still a decision you should leave to the english l10n team and not throw your own preference for them. > P.S.

Are you going through all the files and also go to delete trailing whitespace, just in case, and call that bugs? It's along the same lines, you know. So long, Rhonda
