Description Leif Halvard Silli 2012-03-25 15:49:08 UTC
Replace what the spec now says,

]] If @value is detected, it must override and be processed according to the rules for @content. [[

with a clearer wording, such as this one:

]] If @value is detected, it must override _@content_ and _must_ be processed according to the rules for @content.[[

Currently, it sounds as if "@value must override the rules for @content", which is on the head for various reasons.
