I never imagined those numbers would be a permanent part of the document.
I thought they'd go away once we accepted the BFC standard. But that never
actually happened, so the document was never finalized, so the numbers
never went away.
When you are editing text by hand, it's easier to just tag the lines you
are changing, rather than clearing all the old marks, then making changes.
Plus, the numbers help indicate how long a particular section has been
untouched. That can indicate stability of that part of the proposal.
I do agree they are asthetically annoying. But I didn't want to spend any
column width on putting more whitespace between the numbers and the text.
So, bottom line, yeah, I'd rather keep the numbers, at least for a little
while longer.
