Actually the only people with work to do would be the implementors of UAs with low market share: they would have to reverse engineer the error handling of the UA with most market share (the one that users test with) and try to faithfully reimplement it, in order to be able to render the same content in the same way. Which is what happened with HTML, as you'll recall, when the error handling behaviour for that language was left implementation dependent. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
