If user agent A has implemented -beta-compileTime, user agent B would probably choose to call their implementation something else if it is not compatible, for instance -beta-compilationTime or -beta-ESToMachineCode. -beta- allows multiple vendors to use the same name, but it doesn't make it a requirement. I don't have any strong opinions on this, but I recalled the discussion, and the conclusion I linked to seems to make sense to me. I see little need to have that same discussion again on this mailing list, so as long as an informed decision is made, I'll be happy regardless of which conclusion is reached. -- Sigbjørn Vik Quality Assurance Opera Software
