We're far more likely to make the Web a useful place if there is one true way, whatever that way is. Not having one true way is the same as not having interoperability. That's a bad thing. It's what working groups like this one are intended to prevent. If the use case for "ISSUE-41 Distributed Extensibility" mechanisms is explicitly to make it possible to do things that don't have interoperability, then I for one would consider that a step backwards. That's an anti-goal. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. Things that are impossible just take longer. `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'
