It is my understanding that this document is meant to be a stress test,
not an accessible specification. I believe you are well aware that this
version of your proposals locks up in many people's browser and I do not
see how a document, that is deliberately and unnecessarily made hard to
access, would be a suitable reference for the registry, if there are al-
ternatives available. It certainly locks up my browser of choice on any
computer I've ever used that was meant to support regular web browsing.
