None of the requirements are specific to only one kind of application, if that's what you mean. I believe I showed that all the subsections of section 6 apply to a wide variety of clients (though some may not apply to specific kinds of clients such as non-scripting UAs). -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
