I had a quick look at 16K of the pages from dmoz.org, with results at http://canvex.lazyilluminati.com/misc/stats/scripts2.html - that indicates that the most popular script@language values are: "javascript" [missing attribute] "javascript1.2" "javascript1.1" "javascript1.3" and the most popular script@type values are: "text/javascript" [missing attribute] and all the rest are relatively insignificant (less than 0.2% of these pages, and less than VBScript). Given that data, to help new UA developers to support existing content, I believe it would be good for the spec to say that language="javascript1.(1|2|3)" must be treated the same as language="javascript". -- Philip Taylor philip@zaynar.demon.co.uk
