I used the word "direct" very deliberately. That's an indirect effect, and all kinds of things have indirect effects on other browsers. As a concrete example, we get pressure from some users to implement things like middle-click-to-close-tabs because of Firefox having done it, but I don't think that means that I should be able to override mconnor when I disagree with Firefox UI. > It's also primarily an issue about what we send over the wire to Web > sites, a topic that's primarily a Gecko issue and on which the Gecko > module owners are more likely to be experts. If there is a technical reason that vendor comments are problematic, then why is there an API for adding them? I haven't heard any arguments based on technical expertise that we lack, just a difference of opinions a philosophical issue based on well-established facts that we all understand. _______________________________________________ dev-tech-layout mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-layout
