If you can tell the difference through black box testing then there is a chance that it breaks compatibility under some definition of the term. I am not sure however what the implications of such a change would be. How would a user-defined Function provide the .handleEvent() method, for ex- ample? >I do think we should have a section no matter what that describes when >current implementations deviate from the spec. I think it would be more valuable to make a good test suite and provide up to date test results; others in the community can then take this in- formation and produce good tutorials. We probably don't have resources to do anything but a poor excuse for this in the document, and once it is a Recommendation, the information would quickly become outdated. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
