This is the second time in 24 hours I read such a comment !-(
And this is the second time HTML tries to join the state of art ! Sorry
to be crude but HTML runs after an army of ghosts !!!

May I ask then why HTML is standardized ? Usually, standardization (or at least
discussion) precedes implementation, right ? The current process seems to make
things already obsolete the day they come out...

I'd really like to be wrong because it would mean that WWW is now _really_
in developers' hands (guess who) and not any longer in the Internet community's hands...
