I am not claiming there are RSS feeds that say they prefer a specific app, what I meant is, ditching author's recommandations on presentation and author-provided functionality (HTML+CSS+Javascript) means that user will view all pages with their own UA's style, or his own style, using his UA's own functions. The site could not add anything to the table, and if needed a specific functionality, author would have to suggest using a specific UA, or provide his own UA. Every bit of detail would have to be described by the standard. There would not be any author-induced innovations in usage (e.g. yellow fade technique). The species don't have the exact same DNA, but a member of a species follows the standard DNA of the species. I would never suggest everybody should have their own standards. But I always would like to see one thing: CSS being used for unlimited type of layouts without requiring specific markup. My pseudo-parent container suggestion could do just that even for existing web pages, tho the syntax could be much refined. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2005Apr/0058.html And after that is done, I'd like to see people using id's in similar manner, so user styles could do much more. (e.g. #footer, #header, #contentbody, .newsitem, etc.) Authors could adhere to a *recommendation*, and bearing a "I will let you style this page" banner. This is not the same as having the same DNA, but same kind of DNA. -- Emrah BASKAYA www.hesido.com
