I could live with a SHOULD level requirement (though as usual I only speak for me and not the rest of mozilla). However I will note that even if we make it a MUST level requirement, the spec would only be able to go to Rec is there are two implementations of that requirement. Presumably those implementations have to be "good" implementations, and so would have to deal with the UI issues that Cynthia raises. / Jonas
