Carsten Bormann scripsit:

> If we make that true for ECMA-262, we have seriously broken the document.

Emphatic +1.  Each normative document should be chosen very carefully,
because it's as if you had included the whole thing right there in
the RFC.

Big as a house, much bigger than a house, it looked to [Sam], a grey-clad
moving hill.  Fear and wonder, maybe, enlarged him in the hobbit's eyes,
but the Mumak of Harad was indeed a beast of vast bulk, and the like of him
does not walk now in Middle-earth; his kin that live still in latter days are
but memories of his girth and his majesty.  --"Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit"
