During the F2F (again, minutes are not yet released) the group agreed upon not having this reliable baseline approach as it didn't work out. Therefore Moz's (null) bug is now a MUST and this is too. That's also the reason we made XMLHttpRequest an EventTarget and introduced the readystatechange event. There was an additional resolution on a feature freeze so no more features will be added, but all features that are added will be sufficiently defined to be interoperable implementable in browsers. I hope that clarifies things and I also hope you can attend next meeting :-) -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
