@matigo A simple warning would suffice.

@matigo You're not wrong.
In this particular case it was about a tool showing my markup as mf2 when in fact the markup is mf1. When I asked, it seemed to be obvious to almost everyone that because of backward compatibility a parser for mf2 would show mf1 as if it were mf2.
So I wasted an hour. No biggie, but still.

@matigo And, at least in my case, how I forget that I once knew things. Than it comes back in a blinding flash.
One of the frustrations of hanging around on the fringes of the IndieWeb is that many of them have no idea what it was like not to know something. Others are much more empathetic. I have to explain that when I say "X is misleading," what I really mean is "X misled me". And what I am saying, by extension, is that it could also mislead other people.
