That’s a Good Thing(tm). But if that’s the case, and if regression testing is a problem, then the essential question then becomes: why is Safari using it.Surely it can’t be difficult for Apple to implement a policy to say, “if it ain’t it the book, you ain’t using it”. I know that I do that with libraries that I write. If I haven’t documented how something works, nobody gets to play with it.

One comment appeared to explain from Apple’s perpective why this was done. Maybe there’s reason for his fairness?
