It is intentional.

Feh. Still looks as sloppy as all hell.

It's not sloppy. It's compliant with IEC 60027-2, and bypasses a
longstanding ambiguity. What's sloppy is calling something a typo and a
bug, getting corrected, and still refusing to admit you were mistaken.

Yes, you are correct in it being compliant. At which point did I refuse
to admit I was mistaken? Please enlighten me. Or maybe you didn't bother
to read all of what I said.

Plus, I'm continually surprised as to how many people point to the
wikipedia site as the only source of info, despite the many instances if
it being slanted, abused, or just plain wrong. Yes, there are many
articles which may be correct, but there are enough that one has to go
somewhere else to ensure the validity if the info....

Please let me know the definitive source you never have to verify
elsewhere. I'm eager to drink from its fountain of flawless
knowledge.</sarcasm>

Again, putting words in my email message. I never said I had one
definitive source. What I did say, actually imply, in a different
message was that people should always be wary of what one place says is
fact.
Also, what I'm saysig is that Wikipedia has more errors & issues than
other repositories of imformation.
