So I've been thinking about this a lot and I think the way to go that would make everybody about as happy is to say something like this: The function MUST support one argument being passed. Additionally, implementations SHOULD support the argument as an optional argument and allow it not to be passed. (i'm sure there are better ways to phrase those sentences) The reason i'm arguing about this is not that I want to be able to claim that firefox supports version 1 of the spec. There are several reasons that we can't claim, just as no other browser will either. Additionally, claiming compatibility with any spec is just a matter of how many bugs you accept. The reason is simply that I want the version 1 spec to be compatible with the browsers that are out there. That is something we all agreed was a goal for the first version of the spec. For now I want people to add that extra argument, or at least be aware that their code won't work cross browser if they don't. / Jonas
