Understood.  When the topic started going off into all different 
directions, I got confused as I was reading all this information that 
didn't have to do with the issue but rather changed the issue around.  
Like when I asked if <noscript> was being renamed, then I read all these 
replies about how it's not needed and/or not supported in xhtml2 and I 
was like "what?  if it's not even supported why didn't the original 
reply state that in it".

Again, I'm sorry for any aggression I displayed in this mailing list.  
Steven, you seem to give more clear information than others in these 
lists and I thank you for that.  With everyone else the information is 
fuzzy and left to interpretation.
