BUG!  It should not return true for either, as it has not implemented 
either, I'll raise a bug when I have some internet access...

Definately not, no user agent should be returning true for DOMImplementation 
tests unless they have actually implemented the specification - ie their 
implementation meets all the conformance requirements, since such a beast is 
unlikely to exist in our lifetimes, we should not bother testing for it, and 
UA's returning true prematurely has already made the tests useless as it 
will be no discriminator even if it does exist one day.

As you've shown heuristic methods can be used, and these are much more 
useful as they can just test the features of the language that we actually 
use, it doesn't matter to me if you've not authored some feature if I don't 
actually use it.

Cheers,

Jim.
