I think such a feature would be quite interesting, but I don't think we should persue it in HTML5 at the moment. If this is something that there is interest in developing, I recommend bringing it up in the W3C Web Apps working group in conjunction with browser vendors. Experimental implementations would go a long way towards demonstrating what is possible and what should be specified. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
