     W3C:
     
     I read that the Netscape LAYER tag was turned down by W3C for 
     inclusion in HTML v4.  This seems unfortunate as it was a very 
     powerful tool for information presentation.  From what I can see there 
     is no other way to do the sorts of thing I want in HTML and I will be 
     forced to consider a slower to load approach that requires a plugin.  
     If I am wrong and there are ways to dynamically manage layered images 
     in the HTML v4 draft please tell me what I am not seeing.  Thanks,
     
     Ed Scott
