Attachment: Another draft

* Addressed "do whatever browser x does"
* Removed the VBScript question as infrequent
* Didn't add the scrollbar stuff, because I don't think it is frequent or 
  important enough.
* Added a short introduction to the document.

Comment 8

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

Checked in. Why not apply for CVS write privileges to the doc tree? :-)
