My comments were regarding the client side communication API=20
where I'm afraid it is true to say that the specification was written=20
with Internet Explorer as the only client platform in mind.=20

The spec has been out for years now, Mozilla 1.3 certainly hasn't
and mozilla 1.3 is the only other browser to support it now.

So I think that my comments may in fact have been correct.

One other point that is certainly worth bearing in mind is that=20
applications based on client side JavaScript are not exactly=20
considered the vogue with sucessfull web sites or professional
developers.

Anyhow everyone is using it now so whether it is "dog food"
or not is irelevant as we have to and will eat it.
