Apple invented and was the first to implement <canvas>, but Ian was the first to define it in a spec. That doesn't seem like a problem. As far as I recall, he didn't ask our permission either, nor did he wait to see if we would spec it first. True, but it always won't be so amicable... > Likewise, it seems like anyone should be register a relation, so long as the spec for it is consistent with existing public use. What's the reason to have a bias in favor of the originator of a relation type? Good point. I think there needs to be some small amount of bias, if for courtesy than nothing else, but it's probably overstated ATM. I'll adjust. -- Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/
