Rather than having a very vague and wide-reaching issue for these, could I suggest that we instead handle the specific concerns via narrowly-focused issues resulting from escalation of the relevant rejected bugs? Several of them are still in the "needs info" stage, and it would be confusing to have multiple parallel discussions on those topics. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
