As I understand it the problem with lookbehinds are not parentheses but variable lengths. Therefore many regular expression flavors only allow fixed-length lookbehinds[1], which could also be the restriction within ECMAScript for now. This restriction could then be addressed at a later point. > Backtrack into capturing results? Seems like at least PCRE does that. for parenthesed parts within lookbehinds.
