Thanks Jukka for checking into the background. I try to keep up with all
spec changes but sometimes miss one or two. So I'm very glad we've got a
community of people supporting the tool, and caring about it and paying a
lot of attention to the details. And within the community you stand out as
somebody who for many years has been a major asset to the work (including
before I ever got involved with it myself) -- in particular in helping
others on this list understand better how all this stuff works (and
explaining things better than I know I could).
