I was only trying to make sense of what Patrik wrote, I don't at all agree with the goals or principle of having Rule H. Favored was the most neutral term I thought of -- Stable is completely bogus. Doing the right thing and dropping Rule H, you get:
<br><ul><li>Always = Grandfathered | <span>(Functional & !Archaic)<br></span></li><li><span>Maybe = </span><span>(Functional & Archaic)</span>
</li><li><span></span><span></span>Never = everything else<br></li></ul>Mark<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/13/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Gervase Markham</b> <<a href="mailto:gerv@mozilla.org">gerv@mozilla.org

Very small nit: if<br><br>Maybe_Not = (!Favored & !Functional) (among other things)<br>Never = (Favored & !Functional) (among other things)<br><br>then Favored is a bad name (as well as being misspelt ;-), because being
