We're not against open standard specifications. We're against, poor quality, incomplete, unreliable implementations of those specs. And we're quite annoyed that a spec we actually like is crippled by the lack of conformant, free-as-in-speech, multiplatform implementations. We hope for the day when that isn't the case, but we're realistic enough to acknowledge that day isn't today and it isn't tomorrow either. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu XML in a Nutshell 3rd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xian3/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596007647/cafeaulaitA/ref=nosim
