Conflating specs with promotion worries me. In particular, it worries me that the specs == promotion mindset might lead to hiding some features from the spec, which would lead back to the bad old days when spec were not even seriously trying to contain the description of what needs to be implemented in order to successfully render the Web. By all means put some kind of Surgeon General's warning about race conditions on localStorage but, please, let's not hide the description of the feature from specs. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
