Tnx Roy, <PROPOSED CHANGE> Normative: "... users MAY be given a choice during installation, update or first startup." Non-normative: There are use cases, where a choice given on first startup would be the preferred choice mechanism. For example, - a device can have multiple user profiles per installation; - in cases where browsers are not installed by the user. </PROPOSED CHANGE> Rob On 20-6-2012 18:22, Roy T.
