Are there MUSTs in the current spec that the Mozilla foundation is unlikely to ever implement? Can they be identified specifically? Note: I am not suggesting that Mozilla or anybody has a special role or any sort of veto authority, but if it is the case that there is something specific that Mozilla is unlikely to ever implement, it seems plausible to me that other browser manufacturers might feel likewise, and that ultimately such statements will make consensus on the spec difficult to obtain. > - Rob - Sam Ruby
