Hi Jirka - I don't think anyone here will criticise you for really reading DRs. :)

Regarding the styles, it's rather a good point - I will log a DR through Ecma. My salary bonus is meagre enough that I've never thought about what it's based upon, but here's a fine way to rule out one theory.

With risk that I will be labeled as a trouble maker who is really reading DRs:

There is double space between "notational  conventions" phrase.

Also there is a potential for another DR. Notational conventions at the start mention Word characters styles like Element, Attribute and Type style. IMHO it doesn't make sense to refer to those styles because IS is printed or delivered in PDF format where you can't see Word styles. So e.g.

•	The tag name of an XML element is written using an Element style, as
in "document".

should be changed to something like

•	The tag name of an XML element is written using different typeface, as
in "document".

Personally I will not lodge new DR just for this. But Chris if your salary bonus is depending on number of processed DRs feel free to lodge it yourself.
