(Safari alerts "OK" rather than "€" by the way.) 68825 2 annevk 2012-06-07 15:30:29 +0000 My assertion above that certain browsers conform to the specification is obviously false as it does not define what to do at the moment. But given these results I think that is the most logical way forward. 68827 3 annevk 2012-06-07 15:37:39 +0000 http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/xhr/rev/5acbf9c93959
