Or machine-generate such that they are invalid. Since it works in all browsers, would they even notice? Also note that "enough" doesn't have to be many to cause compat issues. Just one is enough. So the only question is how much hoop-jumping is worth it to avoid the compat issues. You're making the argument that 0 is the right amount, yes? -Boris
