New Features Awaiting Implementation Interest

There are features that have been requested, but for which we are lacking implementor interest. Without two or more vendors interested in implementing the feature, they are unlikely to get added to the specs.

Feature	Interest indicated by...						Comments
	Mozilla (Firefox)	Opera	Microsoft (IE)	Apple (Safari)	Google (Chrome)	Others
