People who can happily use the obsolete version, but need something stable, can refer to a well-known version they use, that others can also use. This gives far better, although incomplete, interoperability than if everyone who wants a stable reference more than something they have to invest in watching, and reacting to, continuously, refers to a random update. cheers -- Charles McCathie Nevile - web standards - CTO Office, Yandex chaals@yandex-team.ru Find more at http://yandex.com
