Seconded. I am flabbergasted. In November 1997, we should be forgiving
about well-intentioned parsers missing details of compliance with a spec
which we keep changing, but this apparently-deliberate step out of bounds
is incomprehensible; let us assume that it is a transient error which
will soon be rectified. -Tim
