Cause of death: the autopsy

ClassLink's validator, the standards body's own CSV tool and an open-source validator are all free. Rejected as free and swarmed.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
