Great, glad to hear it. > However, since there is no spec -- at least, not one I can lay my > hands on Have you looked at the RI? > -- I'll have to wait until the "people in the know" finish > their implementations and then write a spec. C'mon, we're explicitly proposing an annealing process where we write specs or design notes, referencing the RI by all means but also illuminating it, and using prose where it's appropriate anyway -- where we won't be putting code in the final spec. We never proposed to implement first, then write a big spec. What's with all these straw men? /be _______________________________________________ Es4-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es4-discuss
