Ken-Our parser ignores the word "Format" altogether and that's been working trouble-free for quite a while.

Hi Arpad, Here is the feedback on "Format" which you requested me to send through email. If we were completely doing away with Format, that would be one thing. But the current proposal is to still support that, plus also support NOT having it there. It doesn't seem like we are really simplifying anything then; instead we are adding more things that will need to be supported. I think that is going in the wrong direction, adding more complexity to the spec. The software coding purists don't like Format, but if it is there already, and it isn't going to go away, then adding support for Format's ABSENCE is more trouble than it is worth. This is just one opinion of course, and I am curious to see if anybody else agrees. It seems like there are bigger fish to fry than this one.
