Ian, Ah...I misunderstood you. When you said "ample evidence" I thought you were referring to studies, reports, statistics...and I was saying that I was happy to have my view changed on reading such material. But what you meant was that in *your view*, authors are clueless, and you base this on that fact that there are web pages out there that execute inefficiently. So my point still stands; you can't be sure that authors cannot be trusted with features that are denied them...since they don't actually have those features available to them to use inefficiently! Your view therefore remains a prejudice until proven, as of course, does mine--but the difference is that I'm not arguing that everyone will use these selectors efficiently, I'm simply arguing for choice.
