Original thread began on www-style and moved to public-webapi. Now moving to public-webapps. For reference, see: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008Apr/thread.html#msg113 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapi/2008Apr/thread.html#msg57 Nicholas C.

Just to throw > something out for a debate: Due to the lack of compelling use cases provided in this thread and failure to come up with a reasonable solution that actually solves any real problems, I have decided not to include such a feature in the spec at this time. If in the future, based on experience with the current API, we discover use cases that would benefit from such a proposal, then we can certainly revisit it then and find an appropriate solution. Please let me know whether or not you are satisfied with this response. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
