Outspring Position Paper

Our Position Paper is attached to this mail.
Here is a copy of the introduction:

---------------------------
I am a software engineer working at Outspring, a startup company  
developing an email client. I previously worked at Netscape on the  
Mail & News client, and later on the Mozilla CSS engine -- which  
might explain my fondness for internet standards. We regret we cannot  
be present at the workshop in Paris so I'll present our position in  
this paper under 3 chapters:

     * Mission: what the WG is about
     * Views: what we might want to see in future emails
     * Needs: some of the problems we have to solve to get there

Some of the points exposed here are excerpts of the posts I sent to  
the mailing list, and the underlying theme is my opposition to any  
broad curtailment of HTML, CSS and other standards in emails.
