I just joined this list, so I don't knwo whther this has been discussed before, but I see the 4.0 proposal as doing exactly what I felt the 3.2 proposal did, mainly to keep up with what has already been implemented by Netscape and Microsoft and generally already accepted as "standard". It seems to me, that the W3C has been playing catch up for some time and mostly to agree with what is already being used en mass. Unfortunately the W3C has, in my opinion, lost most of it's power to the top 2 and it's unfortunate because I believe we are now really seeing a fragmentation in the HTML community. Let's face it. There is not much 'openness' in this platform anymore. The big two implement what their customers want (i.e. what sells) and we accept it without much discussion. Sounds pretty closed to me. I dunno, just my opinion. -=-marduk-=- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ marduk http://home1.gte.net/marduk/index.html
