We will of course look at the ideas that led MS to consider a completely new approach. Considering each of the issues that the new proposal was designed to solve is a natural part of the development of XHR 2. But as things stand the working group will not adopt XDR as a deliverable. cheers Chaals (chair) -- Charles McCathieNevile Opera Software, Standards Group je parle français -- hablo español -- jeg lærer norsk http://my.opera.com/chaals Try Opera 9.5: http://snapshot.opera.com
