@msimerson - I agree with you. I really don't like this change at all.

Should not this go with standards as everything else? You can not pick only standards you like, that is nonsense.

Edit: I hope this does not come across as rude. What I want to say is that going against standards is never a good choice. And you are right that fix was not a proper word choice.

[msimerson]

Actually, I’d call that optimism. Not every standard ends up getting adoption and some standards end up falling by the wayside. However it appears this one has sufficient traction, the problem is pernicious enough, and that adopting it is the right thing

@msimerson what do you think about this title to this issue?

[msimerson]

The thread reminds me of that old saying, “the reason we have so many standards is so that we can pick the ones that we like. “

what do you think about this title to this issue?

It has a typo. Don’t try and please me, I’ve got my curmudgeon hat on this morning. :-)

I am afraid I am a bit too late on correcting that one. :cry:
