Right? Brad how about you step back a little and consider if, just maybe, there might be something to learn from an entire industry segment (TV) instead of assuming that everything they do is dumb and stupid? You never know, Web-on-TV and TV-on-Web just might be important technologies in the coming years.

Since the very post you quoted mentions HDTV and 'state of the art media devices' the relevance of your comment is debatable and its tone, inappropriate. -- Chris Lilley Technical Director, Interaction Domain W3C Graphics Activity Lead, Fonts Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG Member, CSS, WebFonts, SVG Working Groups
