I'm not aware of any current specs that attempt to prescribe the handling of a byte stream received over HTTP, though certainly HTML 5 seems to think it can prescribe that. Regardless though, browsers *and other clients* will do with the byte streams they receive what makes the most sense for them. No spec can prohibit this. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu Refactoring HTML Just Published! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0321503635/ref=nosim/cafeaulaitA
