I see. Then I'd disagree with it since if we agree that e.g. DOMFocusIn and DOMFocusOut do not need to be implemented (or need to be "deprecated") I'd like for Opera to remove support for them (less focus code to worry about is always a plus) and not violate the specification. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
