Well, going out on a tangent here, I discussed something like this on the CocoBlog-devel mailing list at the time where I tried to develop for Cocoon, and actually, what I came to, was that I would like to serve raw XML to the browsers that can deal with it and CSS3 selectors natively (i.e. Mozilla) and XHTML to the rest (e.g. IE... :-) ). And, the XML was to be RSS. As you might know, there has been major flamewars in the RSS community, and they're talking about a fork. One camp thinks of whatever comes after RSS as "the first Semantic Web application". I think this is kind of neat, and I'd like that to happen. Basically, RSS has the elements you need for a blog, and apply stylesheet to it, and you can serve it to Mozilla, no need to transform it to XHTML. Whenever this "Semantic Web application" becomes reality, you'll be ready for it, and what's more, you may be pushing the adoption. Cool, eh? Well, I'm going to be hacking on something like a commentable blog myself soon, and I don't know if I'll actually do this, but I think it would be extremely cool to do... :-) Cheers, Kjetil -- Kjetil Kjernsmo Astrophysicist/IT Consultant/Skeptic/Ski-orienteer/Orienteer/Mountaineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.kjetil.kjernsmo.net/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
