Description Robert Hencke 2008-10-04 17:03:38 UTC
Section 5.10.2.2 of the HTML5 spec has a run-on sentence, which reads as follows.

"Each database has one version at a time, a database can't exist in multiple versions at once."

A semicolon would be more appropriate than the comma.

"Each database has one version at a time; a database can't exist in multiple versions at once."
