And if you try to filter out that non-sense - for example, relying on that format - you end up with bad results. If you try to act upon that user data, on the assumption it follows the format - you end up with bad results. I appreciate your argument "but user provided!", but you seem to be missing the core point - you're changing the syntax of an API's arguments, in a way that breaks the previously-held pre and post conditions. That's an API change. If we can't agree on that, then it's no surprise that you don't agree with or appreciate the objections, but I'm not sure what more can be said, or needs to be said. It seems we've reached an ideological impasse. -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
