I realise the process of this group is so much more ad-hoc and it's just whatever the editor wants goes in, but surely at some point it's going to put on a real footing where that sort of rule needs to exist. As you note Konqueror could do it, but have the konqueror developers shown any interest in Hixie's specs? Jim.
