The biggest problem is that we lack good implementation experience to guide us. Browser vendors have started looking at identity more seriously in recent months, which may end up addressing this problem at a more fundamental level. In the meantime, I encourage you to approach browser vendors directly to propose experimental extensions to the form features to address this issue, so that we can get the implementation experience we need to make progress on this issue. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
