As a browser developer, I can tell you that I'm not more likely to implement a certain UI just because it's spelled out in a spec. Browsers implement things that are useful for its users, not because a spec asks nicely. File bugs on browsers. Talk to websites to start using this. If you build it, they will come. / Jonas
