Many would like that, but it is well beyond the reach of the W3C to make such decisions. So in the meantime, finding solutions is likely the best way to go. And hey, plugins are the Web's plague anyway. If they go away this will in fact be a very good thing to come out of the sorry state patent laws are in. Mixed namespaces, XML Packaging, and a proper way to wrap it all together... hmmm, the Web at large might become an interesting place again :) -- Robin Berjon <robin.berjon@expway.fr> Research Engineer, Expway http://expway.fr/ 7FC0 6F5F D864 EFB8 08CE 8E74 58E6 D5DB 4889 2488
