Yes, a richer representation may not directly benefit those who cannot use
a richer representation, just as an unnecessarily-restrictive
representation may not fully benefit those who *can* perceive a richer
representation.

Actually, this seems to be one of the big emphases of the merger... both
Macromedia and Allaire have already done work in delivering personalized
content to a range of display devices. The combined braintrust should be
able to do much more.

One key: Different devices will climb the display curve at different rates.
Many are still character-based. Pixel-based devices, with increased color
capabilities and refresh rates, are still on the larger side. These will
converge. HTML *and* SWF will cover a range of devices.

Now, how you can efficiently get your ideas out to all these different
people, in the richest and most compelling form...? That's the problem that
the merger allows us to focus on.
