Everybody was in favor, so I went ahead and made this change. This is *not* in the 0.17.5 release. It will be in 0.18.0, so if you want your documents to validate under 2.28, you'll need to make this change. I'll take care of Empathy. Note that I changed "year" to "years" as well. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
