   Quoting Scott Little on Wed 25 Dec 2002  4:49 to Jan Vermeulen:

sl> ... because SLF is vague, with many conflicting 'standards' and
sl> broken implementations.

   You seem to have a complete view of (1) what is vague in SLF, (2) what
standards are conflicting between them and how they conflict and (3) which
implementations of what are broken.

   I must confess that bt now I'm off the track. Would it be possible for you
to make us a resume?

sl> Fixing them is obviously a good idea,...

   Obviously...

sl> ... but David Drummond, etc. have been harping on about broken entries
sl> for months and nothing significant has happened.

   So things have indeed happend but they are considered insignicant.

   Would you, or David, a list of them?

sl> And then there are issues that cannot be fixed without breaking software.

   Tel me which, how and where, please.

sl> It's far easier to start with a clean format, and convert the data
sl> to the broken format, than start with a broken format and try clean
sl> it up automagically.

   Its easier, but we do not like leaving a lot of debris, so let's look at
the difficult way, won't we?

   It's already Christmas where you live. May it a merry one.
