The danger is that these props appear to be analagous to properties that have been the source of pain for web developers. Particularly the currentStyle.hasLayout . What if Opera put someone in the CSS WG in charge of standardizing Microsoft properties in a way that was inconsistent with Microsoft properties? If a such spec were produced, and Webkit and Mozilla were to implement it, then IE would be incompliant with its own properties. Mozilla and Safari do have a proven track record of implementing and relying w3c specs. This plan would benefit Opera by making IE incompatible with the web. > I think Microsoft's MSDN has a nice diagram that illustrates the various > measures and coordinates, is there a chance you could include something > similar in the draft? > -- > Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de > Weinh.
