Subject: Re[2]: [cgmo-webcgm] WDOM Version? [was Re: [cgmo-webcgm] 5.7.2 getAppName() and getAppVersion()]
Hi Lofton, I don't think we should add more methods to the DOM for a 'just in case'. If the W3C asks for a hasFeature, we can add it; otherwise, I think we should move on to other things. -- Benoit mailto:benoit@itedo.com Tuesday, August 2, 2005, 9:52:47 AM, Lofton wrote: LH> It sound like, for pragmatic reasons, we probably don't need to worry about it.
