At http://www.w3.org/TR/xbl/#status-of-this-document, the following
message appears:
Beware. This specification is no longer in active maintenance and
the Web Applications Working Group does not intend to maintain it
further. No browser vendor has plans to implement this specification
at this time. Unless you are interested in the history of the Web's
component model, this document is likely not of any use to you.
This does not make it clear why the specification was abandoned, or
say where more recent efforts in this area are focused; I suggest
changing it to something more like:
Beware. This specification has been abandoned; after 5 years as
Candidate Recommendation, there still isn't a single browser vendor
even planning to implement it, and it is believed to be fatally
flawed. See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2011JulSep/1568.html
for what became of the salvageable parts. Unless you are interested
in the history of the Web's component model, this document is likely
not of any use to you.
(Preferably with a somewhat smaller font size; with the crazy huge one
it has now, my BIOS tends to ignore its existence and skip to the
small print below it, perhaps on the theory that it is a banner ad or
an illustration.)
