Hm. Could we split the spec into two parts, one for those environments without HTML, and one for those with? It would be good to keep the APIs for browsers to an absolute minimum, especially now with the ballooning number of new APIs that are being specified, and for HTML browsers I really think it would be much simpler (and safer) to stick this on the end of HTMLInputElement rather than have a whole new API. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
