Sorry, but we're on a different wavelength. I don't see how you can describe
an application that uses facilities defined in the current W3C
specifications (facilities that were put there deliberately and that are
implemented uninformly in a dozen products) and that uses these facilities
as they were designed to be used, as "broken".
We can regret the fact that it was specified it that way (that's what I mean
by hindsight), but we can't pretend that it wasn't.
