But it's very relevant as long as we have a lot of old browsers around (<=IE7, <=FF2). But, anyway: What I am seeking is to service the reader that wants to analyze if the spec is making Wise Decisions. Currently, a reader that wants to do this for the offset* properties will have to do his own reverse-engineering and search for incompatibilities, and then weigh if they are acceptable or not. This will probably not happen. Having the information presented (per feature) will assist the reader and this will lead to better feedback on the spec. If this kind of information doesn't fit in the way you want to write your spec, then fine. But I think this information needs to be made available in some way, f ex in a separate document as I suggested, so the reader has the critical information at hand. But I have no strong opinion on how the information is made available as long as it is easily found by a person reviewing the cssom spec. Best regards Mike Wilson
