It isn't detailed enough. It seems to a bit of a hack. Mozilla does not represent it as a "keygen" element in the DOM for example, but as a select element with a _moz-type attribute set to -mozilla-keygen. (With the attributes propagated.) Opera does seem to have some kind of "native implementation". * Wonders who actually uses this... -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/>
