I dunno if I'd mention HTML (with A, IMG, EMBED/APP/APPLET) and OpenDoc in the same breath -- the scope of functionality is vastly different. But yes, we're working on rounding out HTML's linking and embedding mechanisms. A press release about "active objects" or some such went out today regarding some work we've got going with several major players. The technical draft should be publicly available soon after we recover from the WWW4 conference. Speaking of the conference, I'll be on a panel about this sort of thing: "The Future of Object Technology in the WWW" Submitted by Mark Madsen, Information Services Framework, APM Ltd http://www.w3.org/pub/Conferences/WWW4/Panels/obj3.html > Information on the W3C site: >http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/DesignIssues/DistObjApps.html Er... that's a pretty raw document that Rohit and myself have only spent a little time on. There are a couple other documents that folks should look at: "WW and OO" in the W3C Activity List: (by TimBL) http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Consortium/Prospectus/OO.html OORPC Protocol Development http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Protocols/OORPC/Overview.html Dan
