And you're still missing the point --- which is unfortunate. That excellent article you refer to is not talking about UI languages it's talking about what it takes to put together webapps -- and apps need to be more than screen-deep. Another thing that was evident at the WWW 2004 conference was the coming together of technologies such as XForms, CSS, SVG and the DOM2/XML-Events bits to together create a best of breed webapp solution. Point solutions like the various UI-only languages you name will remain relevant for niche cases --- but could become part of a much bigger picture by playing together with XForms just as CSS XHTML and SVG do. So you can continue the polemic by asking "which is the best UI language"; alternatively you can create web applications that actually meet users needs. >>>>> "Gerald" == Gerald Bauer <luxorxul@yahoo.ca> writes: Gerald> Hello, Gerald> Gerald> as an addon to the "Is W3C's XForms the next big Gerald> thing" post allow me to highlight the XUL Challenge Gerald> 2004 Counter sample gallery that shows more than a Gerald> dozen XML UI language formats (including W3C's Gerald> XForms) in action.
