RE: XHTML & hyperlinking opinions (long, sorry)

Actually, they do.   HTC web control components 
are pretty neat.  Slow, but if you don't load 
them up with too many objects, rather serviceable.

But they've had the heck beaten out of them 
for things like HTC components and data islands.
Still, they slog on.  I don't mean to stand 
here and be the Microsoft Thrall (i guess I am) 
but to say, they do improve the browser, do it 
with XML, and it's hard for me to understand 
anyone not seeing that.  The treeview is a 
good example of using XML to provide a nested 
linking structure that works in the GUI.

I think Microsoft, like every technology vendor, is busy and short of 
staff.  Right at the moment there's not much market advantage for 
microsoft to pour heavy amounts of investment and creativity into 
enhancing the web browser, a product which brings no revenue and wins no 
  market share. -Tim
