Good point and link -- just to flatten links, here's the link from the es-lab wiki page to the whatwg wiki: http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Web_ECMAScript > Note that Harmony itself is a successor only to ES5/strict, so any such > enhancements to the codification of ES5/non-strict should stay in an appendix. Thanks for the reminder about Annex B -- I had shunned it in my mind ;-). Annex B is quite old. Are the Y2K-buggy getYear and setYear still required by the web? Hard to say, I hope not, but we can keep them in Annex B forever. This does seem like the place, rather than a separate TR as I thought, to document other de-facto standards. /be
