So true. But how long has the WG been working on HTML5? And assuming anyone ever reaches consensus on that, how long until browsers start supporting it in wide enough numbers for it to be a practical alternative for developers?
Technology can change fast, but in the world of web, it can take some time for those changes to be felt. The web will be different enough in 2-3 years, but I imagine 10 years from now will be a complete paradigm shift. It was only ~10 years ago when table based layouts were best practice, and today forums like this would cheerfully roast anyone for even suggesting such a thing. (Actually I've seen people get flamed here for suggesting *any* use of a table, including for showing tabular data ;) ) L. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [email protected] *******************************************************************
