But, there's so many that aren't normative -yet- in the browsers... http://google.com/search?q="This+section+is+not+normative"site=w3.org --> About 416 results Say, e.g. the timers, the navigator object, the XHRs... don't you use them ? Well, you shouldn't: they're not in any standard! (maybe they've been finally standardized recently (?)). -- Jorge.

The section it refers to in the *language specification* is not normative either. > > http://google.com/search?q="This+section+is+not+normative"site=w3.org > --> About 416 results And? > > Say, e.g. the timers, the navigator object, the XHRs... don't you use > them ? For one, you are looking at the wrong specifications as we are discussing language features. For two, there is no standard DOM specification for the window object anyway. > Well, you shouldn't: they're not in any standard! (maybe > they've been finally standardized recently (?)). You don't get it. Don't use something that has no formal specification if there is a standard alternative. And certainly don't make assumptions about host objects when you don't have to. ;)
