JavaScript is often referred to as the "assembly language of the web". Did any instruction ever get removed from the x86 instruction set? Will this ever happen? Also, modern C compilers still compile C code written in the 70s, even if they use obsolete syntax (pre-ansi K&R parameter declarations). Did features get removed from C? (I don't know the answer - anyone ever used trigraphs?). Is this a problem for C programmers? There is an issue of scale here. You can impose an upgrade behind a corporate firewall; much harder in the open. Bruno
