The question is: Why can't this be done with more generic Web APIs, if they are not good enough, perhaps they should be improved instead of making a new very specific API.

Surely this could be done using a more generic API. `Allan _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
