You shouldn't call something a standard until it has been widely adopted by the industry and has been used long enough that you really believe it's stable. Viewed that way, the entire web is still in glorified beta-test mode. But this distinction has been generally ignored in the mad rush to get products onto the market and capture eBusiness mindshare. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
