It is certainly not out of scope, but without presenting new information it is not useful to run another instance of this debate on this list. It would be better to spend the time on research into algorithms and opti- mizations, experimental implementations e.g. as patches for open source implementations, documenting good uses cases that would considerably be- nefit from adoption of the feature, analysis of the impact of it on good existing web pages (whether and how they are more usable, load faster, spend less time in script routines, ...) and producing similar new in- formation is much more likely to further the case of the feature. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
