A split (though not the one Shelley suggested in the bug -- I haven't looked at the change proposal to see if she changed what she was asking for here) has been something that we've been looking for an editor for for years. We even tried it briefly with Maciej's Window object spec, but Maciej didn't have the time to maintain it (understandably -- it's a full time job, IMHO). I think it would make a lot of sense to split out the Window object, browsing contexts, navigation, session history, and other features that are the basis of any DOM-based processing Web browsers do (whether it be HTML, SVG, or anything else). I've said this before: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2008Sep/0004.html (top) http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2008Oct/0127.html (#10) -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
