AFAIK the "XUL Alliance" has never attempted or pretended to introduce standards, but rather be a forum for XUL-like technologies. Your petty attempts to mock it come across as immature. Please refrain, I'm sure nobody wants to hear it or another moaning match between yourself and Gerald. > You are just as able to create other working groups with similar goals > but different basic principles if you think you can do a better job. It's not about doing a "better job". I'm just uncertain of what WHATNG intends to solve and have little hope that another HTML standard will be taken up within a reasonable time frame. I do however agree with your approach that a backwards-compatable solution might be more successful than say Mozilla XUL which relies on the person using Mozilla applications. The difficulty will be in getting more than a minority of the market to use "HTML NG" browers before you or I are ready to retire. ;) Also, WHATNG comes across somewhat as one of those standards Marc Clifton was complaining about. It seems almost like a reaction to the thread of XAML, to try to improve HTML before XAML can wedge itself in as the pretender to the throne. Still, for some reason, I do hope WHATNG succeed. -- - Charlie Charles Goodwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Online @ www.charlietech.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the new InstallShield X. >From Windows to Linux, servers to mobile, InstallShield X is the one installation-authoring solution that does it all.
