So either we'd like to change the spec or change this once and then stick to this decision. Which is where we need buy-in from Opera and WebKit: if we all change this at once, that gives us that much more leverage in getting websites updated. I suppose we could change this on our nightly channel and avoid shipping it for a while... -Boris
