Paul, many of your technical arguments have been cogent and sound. You are less impressive when you descend into rhetoric, and slurs on the character or competency of those working in the field. Since you have a clear technical grasp and an able intelligence, I suggest you have no need to do this and should resist the temptation. In my experience, the people working on the Document Object model are neither un-educated nor amateurs. -- Chris Lilley, W3C [ http://www.w3.org/ ] Graphics and Fonts Guy The World Wide Web Consortium http://www.w3.org/people/chris/ INRIA, Projet W3C chris@w3.org 2004 Rt des Lucioles / BP 93 +33 (0)4 93 65 79 87 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France
