However as we were thinking of how to best capture these changes we had a very good discussion with Mozilla during which it surfaced that you had interest in providing input on how you'd like the result to look like, so we decided to wait on that so as to avoid doing the work twice. That was two months ago. Now we can, should, and will move forward in refining this API with or without said input but I must say in full candour that I find it quite galling that you would come here brandying "trouble" and "unreconcilable" after we tried to engage with you and blocked waiting for your input. -- Robin Berjon robineko — hired gun, higher standards http://robineko.com/
