I can show you plenty of www-validator mails or #validator logs that provide clear evidence that some authors do care whether some feature is "approved" or not. And it's easier to tell from obj.mozDoStuff() whether it's going to work in Opera than from obj.doStuff(), so the proposed requirements actually provide exactly what's needed here. >It would not solve the transition between experimental and permanent.

Yes, the proper extensibility model depends on factors such as how likely vendors are to have representatives on the Working Group and how quickly new features can be agreed upon. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
