Re: Moving XBL et al. forward

All - Daniel Glazman responded to this subject on a Member-only list and 
he gave me permission to fwd his response to this list:

[[
My personal take about it is that the HTML-based component model
proposed by Google is not desirable. It's an HTML-browser centric
solution that will require from non-HTML user agents to have knowledge
of the HTML namespace. Furthermore, it's in my opinion a rather
unbalanced proposal, trying to integrate things into HTML to "make
things simpler" but adding too much complexity to make them really
simple.

I'd rather stick to an XML-based solution or, to allow the search of
a compromise, establish the list of requirements first and then decide
on the format and dialect.
