As noted in the other thread, this is not a normative requirement, and given the actual behavior of browsers doesn't appear to be required in practice either. -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
