No. I mean that simply because we release a NEW standard the UA writers
won't remove support for OLD standards. That's what I wrote, and that's
what it meant.
Unless what you want to do today /doesn't work/, then it would seem that
the standard you /are/ using fill your purpose, and this discussion has
really lost its point.
And, frankly, from the abrasive manner you exhibit I have no further
interest in the topic until and unless it ends up on the XHTML WG table
for serious consideration.
