I *strongly* disagree with this definition of a "standard web architecture application," and the constraint SIMILE's use of web standards that it implies. The statement may be accurate if we mean a "de facto" standard web application, but the set of web "standards" most certainly do NOT limit clients to being browser-like; neither should SIMILE be so limited. If there truly is a difference in assumptions here, we better sort it out... John
