In the future, yes. The result of that poll was a decision to keep
targetting Java 1.4, though. If there are any features that require
Java 1.5, then we could introduce 1.5-specific sources into the
repository, just like we used to have 1.4-specific sources when we were
targetting 1.3.
Personally, I would be happy with aiming for 1.5, but it is sensible for
all of the XML Graphics projects to have the same aim, due to their
interdependencies.

No, we don’t really have a policy. So far I have only updated external
dependencies to fix particular bugs, I think. Assuming it doesn’t break
anything, updating to Rhino 1.6R7 would be fine with me. We can’t go
for Rhino 1.7 though, since it requires Java 1.5.

Yeah. Currently this is documented, to a degree, in HTML 5:
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/no.html#timersAnd there is also documentation like Mozilla’s:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.setTimeoutTheir definitions are likely to move to a new, standalone spec in the
W3C Web Applications WG:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2008OctDec/0009.htmlI’ve filed a bug for their return values:
