Java is just the tool for allowing 1%s to support their niche data formats. There is good work being done on WebEq and presumably it will become even better with standardized HTML Math. I can guarantee that Java will be more widely deployed than any HTML Math proposal. There is neither reason to be defeatist nor to waste your time begging browser vendors over and over for a feature that they are not likely to support. Simply ask your browser vendor to support Java, point them in the direction of the hype and let Sun's marketing team do the rest of the work... Paul Prescod
