Which in a world where many browsers are built by groups who don't even work in english, seems pretty narrow-minded. As Jukka asked, where is it actually stated that everything not required or permitted is forbidden? As far as I can tell, this approach amounts to a strong pragmatic argument for not worrying about formally conforming to the spec, but instead just reading it for piecemeal requirements on interop of various features. I'm not sure that's a clever way to make the Web better. cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathie Nevile - Consultant (web standards) CTO Office, Yandex chaals@yandex-team.ru Find more at http://yandex.com
