Although HTML 3.2 has only a subset of what was in HTML 3.0, the subset is very useful. HTML 3.2 gives a good starting point for adding needed features to HTML. I am afraid that HTML 3.0 may have been a example of Fred Brook's "Second System Syndrome" -- it was too big a bite to be eaten all at once. W3C and the members of this mailing list should be able now to move forward on HTML enhancements in more digestible (and chewable :)) pieces. ====================================================================== Mark Leighton Fisher Thomson Consumer Electronics fisherm@indy.tce.com Indianapolis, IN
