you should but technically one is trivial computationally the other much more complicated. Also text has clear standards. Quote marks, standardised referencing systems to indicate source, right down to year, page, and object, etc. There is no way to easily indicate this inside video.
In addition text is just different to video, they're different meaning systems and operate quite differently and so it means something different to quote text to quoting image and moving image. They're not the same things - that's one reason why things got quite intense around the lumiere discussion. It isnt' helped that while people treat their writing, eg email, as more or less transient and minor (scraps if you like) we still treat our video as whole, proper, mine, and so deserving of respect or consideration. We just treat them as whole finished things which we don't really let go of, whereas words are just, well, an ascii wake while we flow through the web.

I'm thinking you should be able to "pull quotes" from both. cheers Adrian Miles [EMAIL PROTECTED] bachelor communication honours coordinator vogmae.net.au
