Comment #52 on issue 164 by [email protected]: Wrong order in Object properties interation
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=164
@phistuck - Safari does not have this problem, and of course Firefox either. The problem here is a loose defined standard, that it became a standard on daily use, but it never was defined on paper. Maybe I can put an analogy on my city the law says that car must drive at the right side of the road, if you want to buy so far car has the driver seat on the left side, because that is the daily standard. The is no law that saids that you cannot drive a car with the driver seat at the right side, as soon as you drive at the right side of the road you are OK. What about a new company "G" come out and manufacturer a car that is fast, economic, nice appearance and cheap. Everybody will love to drive one, but it's a catch the driver seat is at the right or even some models have the seat on the middle (ala F1). It perform great, get you to places faster and cheaper, but for the driver experience it's awkward to deviate from the "popular" standard, but company "G" claim it's not guaranty where the diver seat will come on next model and you should not get used to drive only one side, because soon every company will start doing the same.
I hope this make the point and differences between not-defined standard, "popular" standards and by-rule standards.
