The silence from those closely involved with the evolution of HTML in response to repeated requests for basic enhancements to forms has been deafening. For many reasons--security, encumberance and software expertise cost-of-entry for the average web application developer--netscripting is not going to address all of the shortcomings of forms' efforts to provide a generic, transplatform interface to the GUI.
