Now I'm not sure if you are trying to solve a problem in good
faith or making an ironic suggestion to prove some sort of
philosophical point.
I'm being ironic because I have no idea where the people who
decide what's in and what's out draw the line.
In the future, please let's apply this wise policy:

Kudos to Julian for answering Maciej's question in good faith!

I think we all assumed good faith on Julian's part until it became
clear he was trying to game the system to prove a point. I'm glad he
finally said so, but certainly his actions were not in good faith
overall. Not a big deal at this point, but I was honestly confused why
he was suddenly pushing for more HTTP-related requirements in the HTML
spec, when he'd always argued against this sort of thing. A more
straightforward way to illustrate his point would have been to point
out this divergence, ask whether it is appropriate to somehow address
in HTML5, and if not, how it differs from things that are specified in
HTML5, such as content sniffing. These are reasonable questions, but
trying to trick people is not a nice way to go about determining the
answer.

Maciej
