Dependent on JavaScript? Adding a header to a resource is not a huge overhead. (As an aside, even in shared hosting environments you can usually have complete control over what goes out. It's just more complicated. But it does not become less complicated if you have your own hosting environment either...) But this discussion is premature. We should first have a couple of implementations of seamless before we make things more complicated. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
