It is true that that is an old feature and one that didn't catch on as much as escape/unescape. IT did get a fair amount of use c1999, where scripts would have code for IE using document.all and netscape using document.eval. Nobody does that anymore. It is evidence of a feature that was deprecated and has now been removed in Firefox 3. WRT escape, that has seen much less use lately. All the libraries are using encodeURIComponent and they don't even have a fallback for escape(). In fact, I don't see escape as being a property of the global object in ES4. Is it in the draft?
