Comment #88 on issue 164 by Be.DaveStein: Wrong order in Object properties interation

I think the people that comment on a thread like this, are part of a much smaller community than we realize. Most JS programmers barely know what ECMA is, let alone their most latest specs. Yes, Tim it is bad practice to program something that is a non-standard feature. However when all browsers behave a certain way, is there any reason for most programmers to think it's not standard?
Semantically I agree with you 100%. But with practicality in mind, it's kind of like saying <br> doesn't work anymore because we should all be using XHTML <br />. It's taking something a huge amount of websites do, and invalidating it, putting the brunt of the work on more developers than I'd like to count. I realize this ticket first came in 2008, but I honestly hadn't gotten any related bug reports of my sites until recently, as Chrome has gotten bigger chunks in the market. We should really be thinking of how much more of the "internet" will be breaking due to this change as it becomes more widespread.
