I'm aware of that, but invention in standards can't stop as soon as one vendor publishes their first release based on an unfinished draft. But yes, you'll have to decide how to deal with browsers based on drafts when you depend on something only available in the finished version, and you expect beta-versions to have impact. This is an expected part of the "early implementation to give feedback to standardization" process and there are different ways to address it. Best regards Mike
