Images have such a status. Browsers natively support multiple open formats for differnet type of images and there's an element in HTML almost since it was invented that caters for embedding such formats. The only flaw is that the fallback content for that element is not optimal, but there is no clear indication that it needs to be more than text. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
