@domi @littlefox @whitequark The mere fact that it wasn't obvious is telling though.

@whitequark @littlefox @domi this reminds me of how in 2011, Microsoft advertised Internet Explorer as having "native HTML5" support (https://web.archive.org/web/20110413202811/http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2011/04/12/native-html5-first-ie10-platform-preview-available-for-download.aspx), and everyone at Mozilla (where I was an intern at the time) died laughing, and within an hour there were shoops of chips that said "HTML5" making the rounds

It was a simpler time
