This is an old Working Draft which has been superseded by subsequent Editor's Drafts, and which bears a prominent notice saying not to use it. To reduce confusion, everything other than the latest Editor's Draft should have <meta name=robots content=noindex> added to its <head>. The old snapshots will still be available at the usual URLs for those who want them, with prominent links at the top of the Editor's Draft, but they should not be turning up in search results. 57794 1 ian 2011-10-04 19:23:37 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
