This side discussion in another reason why I limited my proposal to a few, relatively simple to implement, features. The UNIX philosophy of development is to provide small tools which can be combined to produce complex results. My proposal is for just a few changes, which (seeing the expressed need) can surely be specified in much less than a year and implemented much less than five years. Even when it takes time to make the features available (through browser updates, etc.) this small proposal can be available to developers much sooner than a complete, complex specification. Can we split this out into a small branch version specification of the Box Model? Can developers be interested in a new flashy, easy to implement feature set that makes their browser better for everybody? (And implementing the features separately might also fix problems with existing, overlapping, extremely complex, table-forced code sets.) -- James Elmore 22162 Windward Way Lake Forest, CA 92630 Home (949) 830-9534 Email James.Elmore@cox.net
