Radio Legend Dick Mountjoy Passes Away
A legend of Charlottesville radio has passed away. Dick Mountjoy died Wednesday after a long battle with cancer. He was 61 years old.
Mountjoy began his radio career in 1964 at former radio station WELK in Charlottesville after attending the University of Virginia. His association with WINA began shortly after that. WINA listeners will remember him as the voice of the morning show.
He left the airwaves in April 2006 after he lost the ability to speak because of the cancer at the base of his tongue. His co-workers say they knew he was losing his battle with cancer, but his death is still shocking. Wednesday night, Mountjoy's friends are remembering the man who woke up Charlottesville every morning.
NBC29 had the pleasure of working with Mountjoy. In the past, he helped with the UVA Children's Hospital Telethon. He will be missed.

Acid3 author misinterpreted the spec, and the Opera team coded to the test and not the spec. =/

No. He is saying the specification description is worthless, not the standard itself.

“I have to say, by the way, that the relevant parts of the SVG spec are truly worthless.”That statement tends to validate Joel Spolsky’s comment about standards (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2008/03/17.html)

No. A specification defines a standard’s implementation, not the standard itself.
