I was getting worried (from talking to someone else at Netscape) that MSAA was considered unimportant since "it's a Microsoft API." >- Appearances preferences, such as font size, zooming and colors Hopefully using user-defined CSS behind the scenes? (My dream browser maintains a user.css file with as many settings as possible stored in CSS, but maintained via a normal 'preferences' interface, thus making the browser, in effect, a mini CSS editor. Also necessary is a way for the user to quickly and easily install and manage multiple CSS files. Tell me this is what you have planned and I will be a happy man.) Also, if you want to make me EXTRA happy, Aaron, tell me that someone at Netscape is working on using CC/PP as a way of storing and eventually transmitting user preferences and settings (in a manner consistent with the user's privacy settings, of course) to CC/PP-aware browsers. If I can hear that from Netscape then all the sins of Netscape 4 will be forgiven. :) [And hey if you need someone from outside to come and preach the wonders of CC/PP...] --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@reef.com> Technical Developer Liaison Reef North America Accessibility - W3C - Integrator Network Tel +1 949-567-7006 ________________________________________ BUSINESS IS DYNAMIC.
