More accurately, folks stopped participating in the IETF working group on HTML. As Larry M. is fond of saying, "There's no 'they' over there."

If W3C weren't interested in things like HTML Pro -- things where folks who don't like the status quo DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT -- then we'd shut this list down straight away. For every one message about experience developing HTML Pro, webtk, grail, and the like, I'll wade through ten "how do I get frames to work" messages. Dan
