Why would you standardize on a storage API, but not on a markup language, markup language API, styling language, styling language API, scripting language, etc.? It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Especially if it leads to user agents having to support two storage mechanisms for widgets if they happen to have one already. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
