[Kss-devel] Regression/BBB in client-side action names and parameters

I understand - the error is entirely on our side. Balazs did in fact 
email me about this (and I thought I'd actioned the suggestions in that 
email), but either I was confused or the editors got lost, and I just 
didn't pick it up in time.

It looked to me like there was BBB code there, just that it wasn't 
working quite as intended? Or perhaps I'm wrong.

<snip policy stuff>

I know you guys take BBB and deprecation very seriously - that's why I 
posted here as soon as I found a problem. This is the only sensible 
policy to have and the only way to give people confidence in the 
framework. As far as KSS is concerned, I consider this a minor BBB bug 
that hopefully is easy to fix.

In any case, I'm sorry to have caused trouble, and I will be publishing 
this as errata as soon as I know how.
