Okay, maybe I just need coffee... but doesn't that exceed 100%?

Yes it does. And coffee is a yummy idea whether you need it or not. :smile:

Some documents had pages with multiple forms that had a mixture of methods. A couple sentences after that it says, "Up to 15% of the pages specifying the Method attribute use multiple forms on the page that mix both "post" and "get" methods. "

Chris Mills proofread that section last week and he had the same comment that the 100%+ total could be confusing. Apologies for not clarifying that more.
