Because these socalled tag languages are neither modern nor "advanced", no matter how much hysterical hoopla gets thrown your way about them. The Mosaic paradigm in which the web is mired consists of halfbaked kludgery limited to putting stream-of-consciuosness k3wl stuff between those pointy bracket thingies and hoping that it all comes out right in the wash. By now it has come to the point where making a virtue of necessity has become official doctrine. Since Netploder can't come close to supporting anything except tags, then by gum "we gotta do it all with tags only" it's gotta be. These days, they call this "constraining the solution". Arjun
