But because of the lack of clarity here -- despite Tab's message, it wasn't clear to me that there's anything like consensus in the WG -- these properties are behind a runtime preference that will be OFF by default on the Beta and Release channels, so the logical properties will only be enabled (by default) for Nightly and Developer Edition builds. (They'll also be enabled -- for both nightly and release builds -- in FirefoxOS, because the FxOS UI wants to start using them. But as long as they're not shipping on the desktop browser release channel, exposure to the Web in general remains very limited.) JK
