Two years is less than the upgrade cycle for browsers, so that's probably ok. It's certainly much less than the upgrade cycle for servers, which is measured in half-decades at this point. (Also, I doubt today's products with cycles greater than two years would see much use as regular browsing devices, so I'm not sure that that's a concern at this point. I agree that in a few years it might become relevant, though.) -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
