Yes, I'd spotted and cited that one.

But where is it documented that USB 2.0 is backward compatible with
USB 1.1? Does one have to read and compare every paragraph of the
two specifications?
USB 2.0 contains a statement that 2.0-compliant hosts must operate
correctly with 1.1-compliant devices, but that's a much weaker
statement than "USB 2.0 compliance requires USB 1.1 compliance"
(which is what I claimed, but was unable to back up) or "every
USB 2.0 device is required to be compatible with a USB 1.1 host".
