Huh?! Aren't those frameworks based on technology provided by browsers? The problem I see we're coping with the most is compatibility issues with web sites because authors rely some browser specific extension. Be it Internet Explorer or Firefox. Besides that we still find time to implement some standards which will give us the same problems in a couple of years (like SVG). Fortunately, new standards are starting to cope more and more with these problems early on (for SVG it wasn't really early, but they're doing it now). -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
