John, just a thought about copy-and-modify use of standards.
XMLHttpRequest is no standard but a modification of a standard from Microsoft getURL is no standard but a modification of a standard from Adobe windows object in javascript is no standard but a modification of a standard I think sometimes we have also advantages in modifying standards Armin -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: svg-developers@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von John Gesendet: Mittwoch, 26.

Personally, after seeing how incompable JScript was with Javascript, J# was with Java, and VC++ was with C++ for a long time - I just hope they take their time, and do it right the first time. I think the world has had enough of copy-and-modify use of standards during the last decade to last it the next century. If they focus on implementing the same subset of the standard as Firefox or a proper superset of it, that would be pretty good for all involved, right? Right now it is looking like Firefox 2.0 will be released before IE 7 goes final, let alone IE 8. If they try to do too much new stuff in IE 7, it is never going to come out. Then people will not get all the important fixes they are working on for HTML/XHTML. ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- ________________________________ YAHOO!
