iHD uses ECMA script (compact profile)
ECMAScript is often referred to as JScript or JavaScript, although technically these two languages are both extensions of the ECMA-262 standard. HD DVD uses its own subset of the ECMAScript 3rd Edition Compact Profile (ES-CP). Reference:MSDN
It's from 2001 though. Is that correct?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I came back to this thread to find this link and realized I had posted the wrong one. The correct link is: http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/Ecma-262.pdf
262 is ECMAScript Edition 3
327 is the Compact Profile, which basically restricts the use of with, eval, and the Function constructor
iHD uses 327 with the additional constraints that:
* You must use semicolons (ie, no automatic semicolon insertion)
* The "optional" parts in the Annex of 262 (like octal literals and string.substr) are not implemeneted
