Yes, that is a neat solution. However, it is still the case that at
this
time we should not add new features, otherwise we might get too far
ahead
of the implementations, and the quality of implementations will go
down.
Since I am new to the list I'm not sure how to interpret the context
of this type of answer: in other words, does this mean "wait until
next month" or "wait until HTML 6". Similarly, if it was determined
that a sufficient number of browsers implemented this existing feature
to a satisfactory degree, would that itself be enough to request this
addition again? As you stated, both IE and Safari have this thing
pretty nailed down for quite a while now already. Firefox has done a
considerable amount of work to implement this as well and at the very
least advertises it as a "complete" feature. Is there some way to
measure the quality of implementations?
Decisions are made based on their technical merits, it doesn't
matter how
many people support it. :-)
Also being new to the list I feel compelled to ask whether this is
some sort of meme or inside joke as I have seen it more than once and
is clearly self-contradictory.
Thanks,
Francisco
