Please note that there is no such thing as "agreement from Mozilla". The
mozilla community is composed of individuals that often differ in opinion.
In matters of web standards we usually don't form an "official mozilla
position" or any thing like that. So while there very well might be people
at mozilla that support this proposal, it is not "agreement from Mozilla".
Personally I have the same reaction as Ian.
I'll also note that Maciej is from Apple and appears not to like this
proposal either. However I don't know what Apples policy is on these things.
