I guess this is the issue that's concerned me most in this thread. I agree that the spec should not be revised simply to circumnavigate browser bugs. But I also feel the spec should be flexible enough to allow server authors or maintainers to work around as many browser bugs as possible. Shouldn't we make it possible for server authors and maintainers to be as liberal in what they accept as _they_ feel is appropriate? Marc Hedlund <hedlund@best.com>
