-Reserve University), and Vincent Quint (W3C).
-
-<p>The section on Web Fonts was strongly shaped by Brad Chase (Bitstream)
-David Meltzer (Microsoft Typography) and Steve Zilles (Adobe). The
-following people have also contributed in various ways to the section
-pertaining to fonts: Alex Beamon (Apple), Ashok Saxena (Adobe), Ben

-
-<P>Robert Stevahn (HP), Scott Furman (Netscape), and Scott
-Isaacs (Microsoft) were key contributors to CSS Positioning.
-
-<P>Mike Wexler (Adobe) was the editor of the interim working draft,
-which described many of the new features of CSS2.
-
-<P><a href="http://cs.cornell.edu/home/raman">T.V. Raman</a> (Adobe)
-made pivotal contributions towards Aural Cascading Style Sheets (ACSS)
-and the concepts of aural presentation based on his work on AsTeR
-(Audio System For Technical Readings). He contributed an initial draft
-of the ACSS specification that shaped the current
-specification. Values for aural properties in the <a
-href="sample.html">HTML 4.0 sample style sheet</a> are of his
-devising; he currently uses them on a daily basis on his audio desktop
-in conjunction with Emacspeak and the Emacs W3 browser (authored by
-William Perry, who also implemented the aural extensions on the W3
-side of the fence).
-
-<P>Todd Fahrner (Verso) researched contemporary and historical
-browsers to develop the sample style sheet in the appendix.
-
-<P>Thanks to Jan K&auml;rrman, author of <a
-href="http://www.tdb.uu.se/~jan/html2ps.html">html2ps</a> for helping
-so much in creating the PostScript version of the specification.

-have contributed to the development of CSS2: Alan Borning, Robert
-Cailliau, Liz Castro, James Clark, Dan Connolly, Donna Converse,
-Daniel Dardailler, Al Gilman, Daniel Greene, Scott Isaacs, Geir
-Ivars&oslash;y, Vincent Mallet, Kim Marriott, Brian Michalowski, Lou
-Montulli, Henrik Frystyk Nielsen, Jakob Nielsen, Eva von Pepel,
-William Perry, David Siegel, Peter Stuckey, and Jason White.
-
-<P>The discussions on www-style@w3.org have been influential in many
-key issues for CSS. Especially, we would like to thank Bjorn Backlund,
