You gotta be kidding me? This is small enhancement but it's a worthwhile 
one because it doesn't require much change, and has no side-effects 
(unless you're gonna make up a story about increased load times) - it 
improves accessibility for now and in the future. How the hell is it 
making the page bigger?

Anyway, hey, it's just a suggestion. Nothing will probably come of it 
anyway - no big deal.

As far as user-agent implementation is concerned, it's not about 
implementation as it is about standards. The idea being that the 
standards cater for implementations both now and in the future - and if 
you're worried about the now, it's already implemented in 
netscape/mozilla - goodness knows how many other user agents we havn't 
even thought of are using it.

You can't be talking about the 2 or 3 link tags? It's not like it's 
gonna make any difference to page load times - people spend more kb on 
comments (which are ignored by the user agent).
As far as the [implementation specific] bar [in netscape/mozilla] is 
concerned - it is indeed *optional*. Not only that, mozilla/netscape has 
an option for it only to show up if neccesary - it's called "show only 
as needed". So you can't be talking about screen real-estate. What the 
hell *are* you talking about?
