Hi, Some (hopefully clarifying) comments. Rich wrote, > Rik was also working on a build for webkit which will go into Mac > Safari. Yes, Rik has worked on a WebKit patch. His work has generated a fair amount of pushback on webkit-dev. At least one thread on this can be found here: https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2013-October/thread.html#25670 Secondly, whether or not a feature is implemented in WebKit is orthogonal to whether or not some particular WebKit-based browser will ship with the feature enabled. You shouldn't assume that this code will land in WebKit; that's unclear to me given the discussion on that list. And secondly, you shouldn't assume that any particular WebKit-based browser would ship this feature if it does land. For Safari, I can only say that Apple doesn't comment on future plans or product releases. Thanks, Ted
