Certain design decisions have been made with good reason by the implementors. However some of these are not well known by others who are testing the software and seem to be missing when compared to other browsers. Perhaps the features and reasons for omiting them should be documented either as a help page or even better as a page on the web. This will let new users decide if Amaya will or will not be useful for them .... For example: Amaya is not as tolerant of bad syntax as many browsers are REASON: Amaya is concentrating on suitable rendering of correct html documents. This allows Amaya to be more efficient. Other design decisions which i dont know the reason for and hence the request of a documenting page are: [1] Floating images are not implemented [2] Frames are not implemented [3] JavaScript and Java are not implemented [3] Animated GIFS are not implemented [4] Plug-ins are not implemented [5] Helper programs are not implemented There are probably good reasons for each of these decisions but they should be documented and readily available to potential users for decision making! A lot has to do with available resources and trying to focus on very important issues such as internationalization and accessibility functions.... Not being critical of decisions but would like documentation Thanks John Russell, VE3LL@RAC.CA http://www.cgocable.net/~jrussel Mystery readers may want to click on DOROTHYL
