I think we should aim to not make page rendering depend on things like the size of stack frames or the OS-provided stack size. :) We should pick a value that all UAs can commit to comfortably supporting and standardize it (as well as standardizing the behavior for how to process the non-conformant page). Then if authors write weird pages, they'll break identically in all browsers. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
