There is also no versioning. D2 is definitely different from D1 in the

Please file bug reports for any errors/omissions in the specification on
bugzilla.
That's the whole point. It's not clear what the actual specification IS. Is it
DMD, dlang.org or TDPL?
The website is the spec. DMD is the reference instantiation of that spec.
TDPL is a re-framing of it.
Now, given that none of the three are perfect, discrepancies exist which
obviously lead to questions. That's where
bugzilla comes in to record and track the queue of issues to resolve among
them. Where there's issues, until it's been
examined, any of the parties could be at fault.
My 2 cents,
Brad
When there is a difference it's hard to know which parts (dlang, dmd,
tdpl) are correct and which parts a wrong.
