Totally off topic, but the problem with html is that one browser dominates to the extend that nobody cares what the standard says, they just write code for that browser. > I think there is a large risk that abc develops in exactly this > direction. I fear it's too late already :-( I hope it's not, though. I'm not up to date with the work on the standard, is there still a commission working on what to include in the standard? I really think this work is extremely important if abc is to have any future. Regards -- Atte To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
