------- Comment #5 from chris at bubblescope dot net 2007-04-17 16:48 ------- I've done a bit of research into this. Looks like, as Andrew says the standard doesn't have much to say on the issue. Any method of removing this is going to make some other things a bit more messy I think, and I found a few pieces of code that use this and it seems unnesasary to break it.
