Which would all be fine and dandy, except that for the past year or so -- since Don Melton stopped working on Mozilla -- it appears Navigator hasn't *had* a module owner. <http://mozilla.org/owners.html> (There was a period when various people, including myself, thought you were the module owner. But the same Peter Trudelle whose stuff you quoted has told me this was not the case.) -- Matthew `mpt' Thomas, Mozilla UI Design component default assignee thing <http://mozilla.org/>
