So why change anything of the spec based on pure > assumptions of future bugs in future browser versions? I absolutely agree. Furthermore imho it definitely is not the task of a specification to deal with or take care of bugs and flaws of implementations, even if it is such a widespread and well known one. Why shall all implementors be forced to follow a move of a change in a spec in respect of only a single faulty implementation?
