For the record: if the code worked ok everywhere *except* in HTML5 clients, that might have been a sign for a problem with the spec, not the code. Also, if the actual overhead *would* be 16 lines I would claim that is totally acceptable. Finally, if the properties are set consistently with the same piece of code, it's unlikely that there would be collisions. BR, Julian
