Jake Cole to me:

"expected" and "most" don't quite tie up.  Is it "expected" or not?

Are theer javascript-enabled browsers where it doesn't work?  If so, in 
what truly meaningful sense is this "expected" behaviour?  (See another 
recent post where I explain what happens in Mozilla 1.0.7 on my 
machine...)

Hmmmm -- a "Firefox version"??

Suggests that it is not quite entirely "expected", eh?

More that it is a corner case, or perhaps, even -- gasp -- undefined, 
no??
