I completely agree that it's an issue for HTML5 to include specifications for window and navigator objects. I've been advocating splitting them out for at least a year. Yes, they're useful specifications to have, but they're NOT HTML. They could be split out into a separate specification or specifications, and HTML5 would probably not even need to reference them. -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:mail@tobyinkster.co.uk> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
