Way better than the last suggestion I heard, which was "just double it" and works pretty well for JS1.3 (not quite ES3 yet), JS1.5 (pretty much in line with ES3) and JS2 (ES4) but not for ES3.1. Also it's pretty much in line with the version jumps of XHTML5, DOM5HTML (if they persist) which are specifically there to align with the HTML5 version number. -- David "liorean" Andersson _______________________________________________ Es4-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es4-discuss
