Here's something I'm confused about: the Gimp's native file format, XCF, has, as far as I can tell, no specification, being intended for use with the Gimp only. All I could find, on searching, was assertions that it wasn't specified, and what appears to be an aborted attempt at documenting it in "xcf.txt". Yet, the GFDL actually lists XCF as a transparent format. Huh? Does that mean the GFDL has a "special" interpretation of the word "specification", which includes reference implementations (which certainly are not specifications; anyone who's implemented a file parser knows that)? (At least this one's in the license itself, and not merely a statement of intent from the FSF that we're supposed to assume everyone shares.) -- Glenn Maynard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
