What I'm asking for is: a) that FF3 does not ship with this feature being turned on, unless it implements the current "should"-level requirement with respect to the UI, b) that the HTML-WG considers not using POST for now. Of course the more general question is whether the HTML5 spec is the right place for this kind of controversial experimentation. BR, Julian PS: with respect to b), another argument against the current way POST is used is that the HTTP message is not self-descriptive, so minimally a MIME type should be defined (which would also open the possibility to send the link target in the body).
