"user agent" -- The draft uses the term "user agent" for conformance levels and uses the term "web user agent" elsewhere. For the kind of requirements the draft makes most other specifications simply use "user agent". It would be nice if the draft could align with that. In case the deviation is found necessary for some reason it should be consistently used. In section 7.4 the term "browser" is also sometimes used. Is that intentional? "web page" -- The definition of Web page seems to include that it cannot be embedded so I wonder what "top-level Web page" in section 4 means. If this document is indeed aimed at browser vendors (and it sure seems like it) it might be good to align terminology with HTML5. For what you want here the term "top-level browsing context" would be appropriate. Unlike "web page" that term is also defined in a lot more detail so that there can be no doubt as to what is meant. "must not" -- the last paragraph of 7.4.1 has a lowercase must not. I assume this is supposed to be uppercase. "chrome" -- technically scrollbars and such are also part of this, but should probably be excluded for most purposes here since positioning something over an element with a scrollbar is fine. I also wonder the excessive use of MUST is warranted given that a lot of these things are user interface constraints that might not be applicable everywhere. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
