I agree with Karl, Mark, others and myself that the specification should be relevant in the future as well. It's now stated that implementations MUST support send() to be invoked without arguments. Specifically, the new text is: <p>Invoking <code>send()</code> without the <var>data</var> argument MUST give the same result as if it was invoked with <code>null</code> as argument.</p> > Even if I fix this today, there will be around 6 months before a release > with the fix is out, and another 6 months to a year before everyone has > upgraded.

I don't think the specification will have reached Recommendation status by that time though, given the many differences between implementations that have to be fixed first during the CR phase... So I don't see that as a show-stopper. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
