As far as I can tell it was simply a matter of Apple having no particular incentive to push the spec forward, and hence not doing it. I certainly don't think there was malice involved; I'm sorry that wasn't clear. I would also like to add that other potential implementors could have requested the addition of more editors to the specs much earlier, but did not do so. The blame is not entirely on Apple's shoulders. Simon
