Sorry, I have to disagree. The language or spec is one thing, the implementation(s) a different. Most prominent example is HTML itself and the various rendering engines, e.g. Gecko, KHTML, WebKit, Presto, Tasman... We now have a break between names and modules/packages and a bunch of dead links. That mess is totally unnecessary. Marketing fail. Adjusting the language name in Sling from Sighlty back to HTL (*sigh*) would have been sufficient: Sling Sightly implementing (Adobe's) HTL. @Radu, can you please revert the changes in Sling Launchpad 8 and Sling IDE Tooling 1.1 release news? The name of the language was Sightly at that time.
