Hi all, As a Web Developer constantly frustrated with dealing with IE issues with custom variables/functions colliding with IE's default Global namespace objects (considered a bug by ANY and EVERY developer I've talked to).
I've just been informed that there is a push in HTML5 to make this default behavior: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#dom-window-nameditem The "double-speak" of the spec makes it difficult to digest, but if I understand the intentions correctly, the idea is to now propagate this pollution of the global namespace to EVERY browser including the merging of ID/NAME attribute values into this global set. If I've somehow misunderstood the intentions and there is a clear, plain English description of what this feature is to entail please advise. Otherwise as a 12+ year UI developer for the web I would like to cast an unequivocal 5,000% vote AGAINST this feature. Thanks, Steve
