The difference here is that those browsers *already* are broken. Instead of claiming that they are ok and other implementations (not only IE, btw) will need to change, the right thing to do is to fix these. That being said it's quite obvious that this isn't going anywhere, so my proposal is to focus on concrete change proposals that the WG then can evaluate. Best regards, Julian
