Some do, but lately, I have heard that they are working on ones that
spontaneously detonate, once they reach the proper fuel/air ratio for
combustion. The reason they are going this route is they have had problems in
the past with the delayed action types because it may take a longer or shorter
amount of time for the fuel/air ratio to be at the right combination then the
delay is set for, due to atmospheric conditions, so only part of it ignights.

Sort of.
As I recall, it's not that an air/EO mix will spontaneously ignite,
just
that it's very easy to ignite. If memory serves, FAE bombs have a time
delay warhead that triggers the explosion after the EO has time to
evaporate and disperse.
