Beat me to it. ^_^ I thought on this a bit last > night and concluded that there's no reason for the author to specify a > particular frequency limit - it's more than enough to just say "turn on > history-based reordering" and let the UA consistently handle that. And if you want it "right now", I guess you could make it quite easily using XBL and XUL in Firefox (could even be made global with a user.css, or eventually done as a Firefox extension), and it could probably be done as a "behavior" in IE... It's a very good idea but unfortunately I don't have enough Firefox-extension/XUL/XBL/etc. knowledge to do it myself... would be very handy though... Anyone to make such an extension? I'd volunteer to beta-test ;-) -- Thomas Broyer
