Webster's defines pedant as, amongst many things, "...a formalist or
precisionist in teaching". So while some may see being a pedant as all
negative, I don't. When it comes to web accessibility, often the devil is
in the details, so being a "formalist or precisionist" ain't necessarily a
bad thing - that is what is required in the world of Standards.

Just my $0.02 off topic cents.
