Gosh, you said it, and I agree wholeheartedly. The field is cluttered enough already, and I'm not sure of the demonstrable need for either one of these. Users will watch television when they want television, but on the web they want function, even if that function is chat rooms, forums, pornography and flaming each other on wikipedia. I don't know if Microsoft has clued in yet that their monopolistic practices are alienating users, just like Apple did when it defined its own version of every standard it touched. I think I detest Apple more, but fear Microsoft more, although the W3 standards people come a close second ;) --- Steve Rickaby [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is all we need: yet another set of web 'standards'.
