Standards only work to the extent that they apply protocol at the most
effective strata in the stack. When adobe restricts graphics protocol that
should live down near the lower reaches of the OS or below, to above the
application level, they create an unstable and ultimately untenable imbalance
in the stack that only serves to put the breaks on innovation and forward
looking change. In any evolving system, progress towards optimization must
supersede temporary success. Unstable awkward architectures act as dams that
prevent natural flow. Only putrification and stagnation will result. And the
dam will eventually burst as it is digested by its own content or overwhelmed
by less artificially restrained flows that have found their own way towards
progress despite the unnatural abomination in their way. Standards and optimal
hierarchical placement thereof. Nothing else succeeds in the long run. Is rev
or any xtalk solution really the future? The future belongs to those who
optimize the stack. Adobe has a better mix of language and graphics than
anyone else. That is why apple and microsoft are focusing their angst at
adobe. If adobe didn't hold the ball, there would be no reason for such big
players to throw such a tantrum... they would just join together and create
their own protocol. The idea that rev should go its own and build towards less
awkward standards is simply laughable. Rev is the poster boy for companies
that hang on the coat tails of the work of others. Bottom feeders. Which
isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it isn't where you would go looking for red
hot trail blazing innovation and standards. Hilarious.
