Whilst I realize that http://www.w3.org/TR/xbl/ is just a submission, and has a way to go before becoming a recommendation, I am very impressed with its power to bind domain specific namespaces to browser supported DOM components, For example Alex Fritze (http://www.croczilla.com/svg ) was able to produce a simple CSS stylesheet calling XBL bindings which allows inline rendering of a non-SVG namespace into SVG. Thus the Croczilla browser can directly render as SVG http://www.croczilla.com/svg/cml/diazepam.xml (which consists of pure CML with a CSS stylesheet ). This approach to extending the namespaces handled by eg Amaya seems highly flexible. Can I ask the Amaya team or anyone else to comment on whether they see this as one way forward for extending the namespaces that can be directly handled by a browser, or whether other mechanisms are envisaged (I assume here that the plugin/applet method is assumed passe; neither of which of course is handled by Amaya). Put simply, what should chemistry, via eg one of its domain specific namespaces CML, plan for strategically? -- Henry Rzepa. +44 (0)20 7594 5774 (Office) +44 (0870) 132-3747 (eFax) Dept.
