I think the result was ginnermost wins", but I may be wrong too.

I tried it under UNIX with webspace (chooses innermost), webview
(chooses outermost), and the upcoming VRweb 1.1 (chooses innermost;
includes WWWAnchor support, available in a few days).
Although a clear spec should be preferable to "try all browsers and
expect that what the majority does to be right", I can imagine how
busy all people are at the moment.
