My observation was neither personal nor rude, although perhaps blunt. It is my professional opinion that any developer or development group that completely forgoes W3C standards will in fact be shooting themselves in the foot, as institutions such as I have previously consulted to (Canadian Government agencies) as well as many educational institutions (such as where I am currently employed) will very much have to deal with this reality, and if they are left with having to make a choice it should be abundantly clear which choice those institutions will likely make. As well, I am personally offended that a participant to this list effectively stated that he doesn't care what the W3C is doing or will do. I consider that a slap in the face to all of the hard working and committed members of this list who *DO* care what the W3C does, and are working to ensure that this specification meets the needs of all contributors. If Aryeh doesn't care what the W3C does, why is he hanging around this list? I have nothing more to add to this thread. JF
