This is not possible, it's simply not possible to write scripts in the majority of webbrowsers that are limited to only W3 standardised things. The reliance on the existence of a global object called document is not a W3c or any other standard, yet all non contrived scripts rely on it. Given that fact, there's little reason to make any such constraint, either _everything_ must be standard, or we should just recommend the most appropriate and accessible techniques. Jim.
