Just for the record, here's a link to the bug report on bugzilla concerning ASI 
for do-while:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=238945

(Interesting that I came across the very same issue in January while working on 
the OpenLaszlo parser code :-)


FWIW, JavaScriptCore provides automatic semicolon insertion after all do-while 
statements in all contexts. We made this change for web compatibility, 
mimicking a Firefox quirk.

Just to confirm, do-while iteration statements do in fact require a semi-colon 
at the end as indicated in 12.6.1 of ES5, correct?  That is, a production of 
the nature:
                do {;} while (false) false;

would be invalid JavaScript as doesn't meet any of the three rules set out in 
7.9.1,  right?

Thanks,

Dave
