I am going to say "No" in answer to that (obviously).
It was a somewhat rhetorical question based on your position ;)
In the examples I have seen, there is no "reference" point of what was in
place beforehand
Actually, there is in several of the papers although they don't go into much detail about the "before".
no other benchmark to see what a well-written DHTML application
Everyone talks about DHTML and what it's capable of but we never seem to actually see any impressive cross-platform DHTML applications. Sure we see a few widgets and menu systems (that mostly only work on MSIE), but where are the *applications*? If DHTML is so great, why aren't people building applications with it? Seriously, show me some websites containing well-written DHTML applications that work in multiple browsers.
[bulk information] Flash wont add to that functionality in any way.
No one is saying Flash should replace HTML everywhere. Just that some applications work better in Flash than in HTML.
We are using Flash on the new site - to replace our message ticker that was originally a Java plugin.
Good. Flash is certainly a better choice than Java applets for UI widgets, IMO.
I don't apologise for being negative regarding RIA's because I think there
needs to be an opponent's voice so that, in the long run, such
technologies can find their right place in the market.
Yup, it's healthy to question everything.
