Graham,

Suppose the UK passed a law that all new software must be ECMA 
compliant.  Wouldn't lack of ECMA support in Run Rev be just a big a 
"show stopper"?

There are bugs and there are bugs, and there may be some enhancements 
that are bigger show stoppers than some bugs...at least for some 
people.
