On 17 Jul 2002, it is alleged that Bamm Gabriana sauntered in to netscape.public.mozilla.documentation and loudly proclaimed:

Hi, Bamm: fantasai and I had been arguing this for a while; she argued in favour of purely structural mark-up while I argued in favour of a mixture of structural and physical mark-up. Her comment here, which you've re-iterated, makes an awful lot of sense, <embarrassment>and I feel rather like a putz for not having thought of it earlier.</embarrassment> /b.
