| 00:23 | <Michael Ficarra> | neither the IEEE style guide nor the Microsoft Manual of Style say anything about pronouns/repetition so I guess I won't pursue that convention anymore |
| 00:23 | <Michael Ficarra> | I still don't think we'll ever actually permit a step like that though |
| 01:11 | <shu> | sorry, like "that"? |
| 01:43 | <Michael Ficarra> | yeah, a step that uses "that" to refer to something from a previous step instead of an alias |
| 01:46 | <Michael Ficarra> | also, I think you guys are taking the conventions a little too seriously |
| 01:46 | <Michael Ficarra> | they're just conventions, they don't bind us, just guide us |
| 01:47 | <Michael Ficarra> | if something is going to be a helpful guide 99% of the time, it's still a useful convention to document, and we should happily violate it whenever we feel justified |
| 01:49 | <Michael Ficarra> | also remember that we're going to pretty much follow these instinctively, the more important audience for the conventions is proposal authors |
