> If it doesn't match common usage after some time, the spec should be revised Well, the problem with any kind of language spec change is that it can take decades until it gets accepted widely. Young people are the first adopters as they get it force-fed by schools, but getting the age bracket 40+ to adopt is a real challenge. Germany's 1996 project led to years-long battles and partial reversals in 2004/06, and really old people to this day haven't accepted it.
