You need to read a bit deeper into the subject - as Peter suggests. Standards organizations have to set future milestones but that doesn't mean you can't use HTML5 until then. I'll draw a parallel with my own experience with C++. The standard itself is officially updated once a decade. In reality, updating is an ongoing process and vendors track the changes and add features for compliance over time. That means that most vendors implement most things in any current draft over time and by the time the official document is published by ISO, vendors are either already compliant or very close to it, depending on how much change occurred during the final public review period. > We need some sort of "continuously updated standard" with > more nimble browser updating, as well.

Like I say, you don't understand the standards process (or you're misreading it). It's much more important to focus on what features are implemented and what you CAN use rather than throwing up your hands and acting like all of it is out of reach. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ World Singles, LLC. -- http://worldsingles.com/ Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://www.getrailo.com/ "Perfection is the enemy of the good." -- Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:345709 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
