Good. ;) Now can we get those changes made (or at least an issue in the issue tracker on figuring out what changes are needed)? I should note that my original claim that there's ambiguity here is pretty clearly true. If the Webkit folks did something totally different from everyone else and what they did seems somewhat reasonable per the existing text (and I think it was) then the existing text is ambiguous, period. -Boris
