Well, as far as I remember Mr. Hickson coined the acronym "XUIL". I guess Mr. Hickson is not a proud father of his creation. >> Is WAML the new XUIL? > > I don't understand the question, especially > regarding "the", since > it is clear that no one was suggesting using the > acronym "WAML" to replace "XUIL". Well, if noone was suggesting WAML for using as a generic term to replace XUL I'm suggesting it now. > As for whether WAML is A new XUIL, Ian clearly > stated in the same > email you quoted from that WAML will simply be part > of the next version > of HTML. The idea is that HTML itself will become > more like a basic XUIL. Well, Opera and Mozilla *hope* that WHATWG WAML will be part of the next version of HTML. As far as I know the W3C is the steward of HTML and so far hasn't endorsed the renegade WHAT WG and their redefinition (or some might say hijacking) of HTML to serve the interest of Opera and Mozilla. - Gerald ------------------- Gerald Bauer XUL Alliance | http://xul.sourceforge.net United XAML | http://xaml.sourceforge.net Interested in hiring Gerald Bauer?
