I see that it is properly submitted and posted to the errata. Good.

Whenever someone asks that particular question, we answer it.
|
|
|
|
In order for a developer to have asked that question, he must already have
|
|
read the specification. That sufficies for any "RTFM" purpose. He does not
|
|
need to be put through additional hoops.
|
|
|
|
If he asks if the document is going to be fixed, then we say "we already
|
|
have an errata on file for it."

Have at it. If nothing else, it will be educational.

At least you use JSON and not XML.
