My question was very poorly worded. I was thinking along the lines of 
behavior being affected by lastIndex (set manually or via the use of /g).

Thanks. Your response and the Firefox 3 beta answers all my questions on 
this point. The /y modifier is a great addition and every aspect of it seems 
to work like I would expect/hope.
