I'm happy to fix real bugs, if they are reported. Bug 7806, however, has 
already been fixed to the extent possible in the HTML5 spec. What Julian 
escalated was not the original reported bug, which was in fact fixed; what 
he escalated was a request to say that if an implementation didn't conform 
to the Atom specification in one very specific case that is arguably not 
always possible to achieve, that implementation should _also_ be 
considered not conforming to the HTML specification. This seems to me to 
be idealistic language lawyering with no value.
