> And thus demonstrated is the value of lots of different implementations of a spec. Already one hole found in the spec

That's a bit of a... non-sequitur. Imagine if you had tweeted "eggplants are my favorite vegetables", someone corrected you "actually they're fruits", and then you declared: "And thus demonstrated is the value of Twitter! Someone already made me a better-informed citizen in response to my tweet." This feels kind of similar.

This isn't to say what they're doing isn't valuable, or that there isn't value in having lots of implementations of a spec. Just saying that implication isn't there (yet) with this particular example.
