Is this going to be synced up to be more reliable? Either in a next beta release or do we have to wait until the final release? My concern is that exposing the API, if you will, to things that don't *actually* work yet is making feature-detection nigh on impossible. I'd much rather have the implementation there and the API not exposed yet, than the other way around�which is what I'm currently encountering in Firefox 3.1b3. In contrast, Webkit currently supports a few things completely but the API to feature-detect them is incomplete. I much prefer this as it makes feature detection more robust and reliable, as opposed to risky, fragile and unreliable. Any elaboration on this is much welcomed :) Thanks, Faruk
