In the spec, it says it’s on the `window` object in some places, but in other places it says it’s on the Navigator interface. In browsers, it’s exposed on the Navigator interface (at least in Chrome, and FF), as it should be. > The browser implementations were premature (and undefined). In this case, it is desirable to supplant those implementations as out-of-date. Concern about deployed content being broken is not yet relevant given the lack of implementation by sites. > Also, why is it not read only in the spec? It’s implemented as readonly in browsers - and it wouldn’t make any sense to make it writable … I’m sure it’s just an oversight :) > Yes, that was an oversight and has been corrected. Thanks. ....Roy
