Instead of asserting there are unspecified holes, please identify them with 
bugzilla issues and connect them with the 'safe' keyword. Doing otherwise is 
useless and nothing will come of it.

Arguing that the spec is wrong without identifying specifically what is wrong 
and how it should be corrected is useless and nothing will come of it.


There are many people (particularly Kenji) who spend many hours combing bugzilla 
looking for things to fix. Issues not in bugzilla do not get fixed. Nonspecific 
complaints on the n.g. are ineffective in garnering improvement.
