You seem to be stating that once something's been published for a while, it's frozen. In reality, only the web-exposed parts are, and then only the parts that the web actually depends on. We can potentially change *everything else*. Thinking anything else is harmful, as it means you avoid thinking about possible good ideas just because you've arbitrarily ruled out certain classes of changes, despite there being no reason to avoid that change. Standards exist for the sole purpose of helping interoperability, which we like because it makes it easier to do cool things. Don't put them on a pedestal they don't deserve. ~TJ _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
