Re: FYI: Microsoft Pledges Improved FrontPage

Just curious what these "improvements will be.  An "easier-to-use"
interface is what got us into this mess in the first place, isn't it?

As for the better integration, that just sounds like a fancy way of stating
that the other products will use HTML as a file format, but considering
what kinds of things those other products do, 1) is HTML as we now know it
capable of, and appropriate for these applications? and if not, what does
that say about the Microsoft pledge to abandon their practice of
proprietary extensions to HTML?  Where are we going with all of this -- is
it a better place or a worse one?  I'm not even going to try to guess at
this point.
