Hi Elwyn,

Thanks for the feedback.

Hmm!!  That should not happen, given that IE 6.0 understands css.
I've made a change in the css, could you check this out again?

Actually, the difference you see is because I fixed the 2-line title problem
while you were testing, before you got to this draft ;-)

If you follow the link to the plain-text version of that particular draft,
you'll see that the second line is mis-aligned in the original, too.  I've
fixed the span taking in the spaces - it shouldn't do that.

Right.  Currently I ignore sections which don't start flush-left.  I
may try to fix this later.

Oh, bugger!  Right, I'll see what I can do about that one.

Right.  I think I'm going to give up on this one - I think drafts that
lack a blank line between section title and section text may be just as
likely as having a very long section title...

Bah.  Rfcmarkup takes the "11" in "11 July 2005" to be a section number.
... And how the blip should it know that this isn't a section number?...

I've now set the font size to 10.5pt.  If I set it to 11pt the text goes
outside the default margins on A4 paper, at least on my Mac.

Remember that since the settings have to work for both A4 and Letter size
paper there will be more unused paper than if you could adjust for only
one of them...
