I am arguing against the idea that somehow we should try to make buggy scripts 'work'. I have no problem with the idea that we should strive to make buggy scripts less likely in the first place, that writing naturally is less likely to be buggy. In particular, bugs of the kind "I wrote this assuming that the world was standing still" when it clearly is not, are going to be hard to make into not-bugs. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
