I think it is worth pursuing. POST results in history lists are a major problem for both browser authors and forms+CGI programmers, and c) is a simple 90% solution which can be deployed quickly. In the long term we need 1) real transaction support 2) a standard for history list behavior to solve all problems one encounters when trying to make a robust forms based user interface. Differences in history list implementations continue to be a major problem for forms+CGI programmers. >Larry Koen.
