I rather doubt that "normalization happens to source upstream of the JS engine", unless by "upstream" you mean "best see to the normalization yourself". Yes ;-). I meant ECMA-262 punts source normalization upstream in the spec pipeline that runs parallel to the browser's loading-the-URL | processing-what-was-loaded pipeline. ECMA-262 is concerned only with its little slice of processing heaven. > By contrast, providing a method for normalizing strings would be useful. /summon Norbert. /be
