Please change it to <var>classType</var> or some such. This makes it easier to implement makes the spec and implementation consistant. 65935 1 cam 2012-03-21 23:37:55 +0000 There is no requirement that algorithms be implemented as is, especially since they are pseudocode and not actual code. I don't think it's worth changing this -- I had wondered at some point whether I would change my variable names to be possible space separated words, as the HTML spec uses, since that should make some things more readable. You would have even more of a problem, then. :)
