Hi Gili, I think what you need to do is to generate more interest for your idea on this mail list. There have been quite few comments so far. My guess would be that you would need to make a more concrete proposal on how 'the browser to "sanitize"´ should work. In this case we did file bugs since Jan-Ivar's proposal had already gotten a lot of attention and feedback - that is not the case (yet) for your proposal. > > Thanks, > Gili > > On 27/11/2013 8:24 AM, Stefan Håkansson LK wrote: >> Jan-Ivar recently submitted a proposal related to constraints [1].
