Cool - the clarification is good. I'm still a little uncertain about entering items with a separator, however. I always forget which character I'm supposed to use- especially when I'm forced to send mail with Outlook. :) I know that it's not the standard's job to specify the exact UI in the browser, but I'm certain the email-like GUI present in the spec at the current moment will end up in IE at some point. ;) I don't know if I have a better idea, but perhaps the recommended UI should be one that changes from this (when unfocused): +----------------------------------------+ | matt@aclaro.com, foo@something.com ... | +----------------------------------------+ to this text-area-like-one-per-line layout (when focused): +----------------------------------------+ | matt@aclaro.com |^| | foo@something.com | | | whoever@whereever.com | | | * <-- insertion mark (?) |v| +----------------------------------------+ Perhaps someone can come up with a better idea than myself, but the idea is there and might prompt some discussion. :) Matt.
