Undecipherable Specification Error Redux


Last June, I wrote about a some ambiguities in an Apple spec that were troubling me.  More troubling than the ambiguities was the lack of an ability to have a conversation.  So I decided to raise a flag.

The technique worked.  It took multiple iterations, but the point is that the spec got clarified, and the Feed Validator was updated to match.

Now it is time to do it again.  Hopefully it will work out just as well this time.

Meanwhile, results from other validators: scripting, kbcafe, w3c.  Note: only kbcafe is a completely independent implementation, the others are different snapshots of the same codebase.
