This change alone does not satisfy me, the draft would then contradict the definition of the element which states that discarding an element is equivalent to calling removeChild() which would no longer be true as user agents are not prohibed from re-inserting nodes removed via that method when seeking. I suggest to add a new section or sub-section that clearly defines requirements for seeking which would then be linked from the discard element definition (as I requested). Whether this would be satisfactory to me would depend on the Working Group's response to other issues though, I am not yet sure whether user agents should be prohibed from implementing high-quality seeking at all. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
