O'Reilly's XML.com site has published an article titled "Mozilla and Opera Renew the Browser Battle" by Kendall Grant Clark that covers the W3C's workshop on web apps and compound documents and the new WHAT WG spinoff.

Of course, as usual the RICHIE (RICH Internet for Everyone) initiative gets ignored. Thank you.
Please explain to me how you feel that an article highlighting the working group between Mozilla and Opera should have mentioned anything other than the main parties involved and their intended goals? Why should the work of two organisations, both of which produce and maintain the market's most innovative browsers and web platforms, be compared with a collection of mailing lists? I describe RICHIE/Open XUL Alliance as such, because that is essentially what it is: announcement lists announcing other lists for this, that and the other UI that uses XML (of which there are many, more every week).
You tend to draw flack from developers, and not limited to those who believe there.is.only.xul. I can understand that, to you, the acronym "XUL" covers any XML-based UI language, but the term belongs as a Mozilla technology and anything that confuses XUL with other languages only serves to devalue the hard work and perseverance put into the Mozilla platform. Nuff said.
If you have renamed to RICHIE, I wish you luck with that course of action. If the aim of RICHIE is to raise awareness of various pieces of software that use XML to render their UI, then such a resource is of limited value, yet useful nonetheless: a category on dmoz.org perhaps. Otherwise, the aim of RICHIE is not clear - is it published? I would like to understand what it is that is being ignored and please don't spin me "RICHIE exists to do the same thing, just different" because I can not draw comparisons between that and the WHATWG.
