How?javascript: alert(function(){}) Safari 4 elerts: "function () {}" The current specification doesn't allow that. Why not? The current specification requires the result of Function.prototype.toString to be a FunctionDeclaration and "function(){}" is not a FunctionDeclaration representation. So it seems you want Safari to change, but the specification to remain. I would have to disagree, as that might break sites (and for absolutely no good reason). I propose that browsers today stay as they are (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, IE, etc all produce that result). The specification should allow them to do so.
I was referring mainly to the changes in representation of the native functions sorry. I'm also unsure whether it would be possible to add 'anonymous' as a function name. I vaguely recall one site failing when we removed the space on either side of the ()'s so that does worry me. I also believe the eBay (at least in the past) did string replacement on the result of function.toString to create new functions which caused us a headache back then as well.
