Apparently some browsers show:
<http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/201312/msg00108.html>
With a big black bar across the initial post.
I've changed the link in the article to:
<http://markmail.org/search/list:xml-dev#query:list%3Axml-dev+page:5+mid:xoti6vqelmisy5kn+state:results>
Which shows the text more clearly.
Hopefully that will reduce accusations of sociopathy. Thanks to the
folks who pointed out the archive oddity.
Thanks,
Simon
