    <thetext>Hi Cam, 
Can you please use &apos;HYPHEN-MINUS&apos; (U+002D) instead of  &apos;MINUS SIGN&apos; (U+2212) in the spec. It&apos;s a bit annoying when copying/pasting from the spec into code,  that I then need to hunt down the &quot;−&quot; characters that keep breaking my code :(  

Yes, &quot;MINUS SIGN&quot; is probably more &quot;correct&quot;... but practically speaking, it&apos;s annoying to keep having to remembering to replace them.</thetext>

    <thetext>I think all specs use &amp;minus;. Just deal.</thetext>

    <thetext>@hixie, There are 353 occurrences of &quot;-&quot; (though not all apply in my case) ... not just &quot;-1&quot;, smart ass :)  

@anne, grumble....</thetext>

    <thetext>Sorry, I haven&apos;t written the algorithms with the ability to copy and paste them directly as code in mind, and I don&apos;t think there is much that can be currently.  The minus signs look nicer, too.</thetext>
