I totally agree with the sentiment that the spec should not dictate UI requirements. And while this seems like a good suggestion, I don't think it is within the bounds of a spec to start dictating what features a user agent should have outside of how to process, display (if it is a viewer) or interact with the markup described therein. Is there not enough to worry about trying to nail down these complicated specs without dictating what bonus features user agents should have? Try filing feature requests. If someone implements it, and it turns out to be as good a thing as it seems, other UA's will follow. -- Cheers! Rick
