This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer
working on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or
another known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work
in some way -- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

I for one would like to see this implemented. However, if there were another way
to provide computed attribute values, or computed entities, that would satisfy me.

I personally would prefere to leave this Netscape proprietary JavaScript
specific extension unimplemented since this just doesn't fit at all into the new
world of XML and XHTML. In fact, the syntax of these entities makes a file non
well formed (which means an XML parser is required to stop parsing the file),
the character '{' is illegal after '&' and there's a whole bunch of characters
typically used in javascript that make the syntax impossible to use in XML.
There are ways around this, using document.write() to write out the whole tag
being one way, setting the value of the element in a script later on is also
possible...
Implementing the javascript entity (1) supports backwards compatibility and (2)
supports the proposed "scripting macro" that is described in HTML 4.01:

Is this bug going to be fixed? Some Web apps in Sun are using Javascript-entity and
become unusable in Mozilla.
