Status: Did Not Understand Request
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: I don't understand. What do you mean by "marked as important"? If you mean the "warning!" class, then I'd rather not; that's reserved for security problems, whereas this is a more basic interop issue. In any case, I doubt it would make much difference — anyone reading this is as likely to ignore green blobs of text as red blobs of text!
