We reluctantly agree. We suggested a re-think a year ago, and though that got some support, it didn't get the editor's support. We do not have an implementation of the current spec., and don't expect to. <http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2008-July/015284.html> We do think the functionality is important, and are saddened to agree with this proposal, however. -- David Singer Multimedia Standards, Apple Inc.
