In what sense? Because you think this is a feature that they'd like, or because this would break existing content?

Ojan has much more experience on the first point, but my perception is that the global scope polluter is nice when you're just prototyping stuff, but makes applications very bug-prone when you start getting bigger applications.

As for breaking existing content. Like I said, Gecko has not had a global-scope-polluter in any released version and so far we've only had two bugs filed against us because of it.

IE claims that they know of content that depend on it, but it sounded like it was in IE-specific code paths. I'm also not sure if they actually know of content of content, or if they are just concerned that things *might* break.
