* Appendix D title is in wrong style; must have been marked as Courier, 9pt by accident.
By design, so that the lines don't split unnecessarily (see your comment about setting the Examples in setion 14 to Courier 9pt).
Well, I'd put the appendix title at least in the usual font; the font size is less irksome there. Not that I mind if the title wraps; it's line wrapping in the middle of an XML attribute value that I don't care for.
Will do.
* The cells of the survey results table (section A-2, pages 44-49) would be better off being marked as having North West cell alignment
What does "North West cell alignment" mean?
Umm, it means "top left". I tend to think of cell alignments in terms of compass directions. :-)
Ah, OK. Thx.
* Appendix C should note that SI usage requires "kiB" for 1024 bytes, "MiB" for 1024 kiB, etc. It's stupid, but "standard". It's also a large part of the reason why JSDL dropped putting units in. :-\
What is "SI Usage"? How should this be noted in Appendix C?
Apparently, we're supposed to use 1MB to refer to 1000000 bytes and 1MiB to refer to 1048576 bytes (== 1024kiB, 1kiB == 1024 bytes). I hate this usage, but it is standard. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix has lots of gory details, including links to more discussion.
I prefer to put everything in bytes or bits and use very big numbers. :-)
Yeah, but I know there are sites that aren't as comfortable doing this. I'll look into this one some more.
Everything else has been corrected or is OK ("extra commas" are a British versus American issue :)).
I just highlight them because Word's grammar checker doesn't like them (and yes, it was using the US grammar engine at that point). :-)
Ah, yes. I'd forgotten about that hideous Microsoft dialect. I turned grammar check off years ago. :) Thanks for the comments. I'll work them in.
