"When it's ready" is the standard answer. In practice, the Web Forms spec is reasonably close to stable (I expect us to publish one more call for comments once I've finished going through outstanding comments from the last couple of months, and then having a call for implementations if there are only a small number of comments resulting). The Web Apps spec is in active development, but is probably still several months from stable. > I've read, that maybe these features will be implemented some of the > cutting edge browsers like Mozilla family, Opera, Safari in this year. > Can it be true? Some of the features are already implemented in some of the browsers. For example Apple released a beta of their next Safari release a few months ago, which supports an experimental version of <canvas> from Web Apps and type="range" from Web Forms. Some of the features have been implemented for years (XMLHttpRequest, the Window interface). Others are very new, and it is hard to predict when they will become available on the market. I would not expect product releases this year to include substantial features from these drafts. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
