I would love for this dream to come true. But HTML5 is not really going to solve everything, given the state of affairs with video in HTML5. The H.264/(Ogg Theora|WebM) split will still block free software to compete on equal terms. See <URL: http://webmink.com/essays/h-264/ > for those details. There is also the fact that heaps of government sponsored educational web sites are already created using Flash, and will not go away any time soon. :( -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
