But I think the OP wasn't talking about ES4 but rather E4X (ECMAScript for XML), which at some point was part of ES4 but was released separately so as to ship at all. That being said, while very interesting, it seems to have failed to pick up much momentum. E4X was never part of ES4. In fact, it predates ES4, and it was always a separate spec from ECMA-262 (the main ECMAScript spec). Nowadays, most in the ECMAScript standards community consider E4X a somewhat regrettable direction and there is little interest in moving forward with it. Going back to the actual topic of this thread, I do think it would be appropriate to cite ECMA-262 5th edition. Regards, Maciej
