saying I took ownership of the spec is not accurate.
there wasn't much of a spec to work from, just something Netscape had put together quickly before everyone disappeared.
i needed something to work with so i looked at what people were doing, and looked at the spec netscape had left behind, and erred on the side of documenting what people were doing.
that was the 0.91 spec i wrote.
i didn't take anything, i wrote something.
a really important distinction.
