Hi everyone, I rewrote the Navigation section of Window Object 1.0 to be painfully exacting about the conformance requirements, including detailed algorithms for performing navigations, etc. I believe most of this is technically accurate given my testing, but most of it is open to revision based on results from the test suite. I also added in History since there was consensus that it should be added, in fact I put it in the same section since it had to rely on many of the same definitions and algorithms. The main problem with the new text is that it is really really dry. Lots of lists of steps and function-like syntax, not much friendly prose. But I think navigation actually is quite complicated, and it takes a fair amount of detail to specify it in a truly interoperable way. Anyway, comments welcome even though there are still a handful of pieces missing. Let me know especially if the text is hard to understand or appears to overconstrain implementations. Regards, Maciej
