Re: definition of Web Publication

Hi Rick,

I tend to think using "standard  OWP technologies" is likely the only
reasonable way of presenting WP content.  However...

It's a little bit unclear to me what "standard OWP technologies" means --
if I write my own CSS engine is that "non-standard OWP technologies" if I
don't use a system Browser or WebView is that "non-standard?".

So, I kinda think the "may" is correct -- in that it's requirement that
whatever we do is presentable using the "normal" stuff... but, I'm not sure
I'd make it a requirement.

Best,
   Garth
