I think no. Of course not. But even if W3C's HTML 4.01 specification lists a number of elements and attributes and have done so for many years, still a great deal of them aren't supported by most browsers. > If this group is unable to come with renewed version of HTML which will > align HTML standard with its current usage and address requests for > several new features and at the same time persuade *all* browser vendors > to support it, then it is a failure. Perhaps that would be a failure to you, but the HTML charter says pretty clear what its success measures are. However, I agree that getting all major browser vendors to support all of it has to be the goal. -- Asbjørn Ulsberg -=|=- http://virtuelvis.com/quark/ «He's a loathsome offensive brute, yet I can't look away»Received on Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:33:35 GMT
