I like the new language features - a lot - but what about the ECMA JavaScript spec? MSIE compatibility? I realise one must explicitly opt to use the 1.7 features, so it's not going to accidentally "leak" into general web use, but it'd be nice to see at least a nod to compatibility issues. Even if that nod is just "use only in Mozilla-specific code".
