Yes, you are right I should definately do that. What is the normal process for
that: write some code, post it up on my website, and then post here with a
link? Is that sufficient to get the attention of the browser implementors?

By 'implement an example in javascript' do you mean that I should implement an
example of what I wish the browsers could do, or implement an actual reference
vector library that the browsers could use? The former I can see myself doing,
but the latter has been on my TODO list long enough for me to know that I won't
get it done any time soon. :/

Chris.
