The main reason I'd recommend against adding aliases is that the Web platform is already huge and complicated. Adding an alias only adds a potential new source of bugs, it doesn't add any new features; this therefore just leads to more complexity in the platform. Even if the browsers manage to implement this flawlessly, it's still just more to explain when writing the platform's reference book. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
