Hello, Allow me to highlight another posting from Ian "Hixie" Hickson - the spokesman for the WHAT WG, WAML spec lead and Opera employee.
Ian "Hixie" Hickson claimed a while ago here on xul-talk that Mozilla XUL is an open standard and language and because Mozilla's code base is open source there's no need whatsoever for any competition or independent Mozilla XUL compatible code base or initiatives such as the Open XUL Alliance. Now Ian writes on the what-wg mailinglist if I may quote: > In http://whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/ > please address relationship to Mozilla XUL I added a very short section that answers your question: | 1.6. Relationship to XUL, Avalon/XAML, and other proprietary UI | languages | | This specification is independent of the various proprietary UI | languages that various vendors provide. -- http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#relationship3 Source: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.org.w3c.whatwg.discuss/1563 Anyone cares to comment on Ian's new world view? Do you think Mozilla XUL is an open standard and language or do you think it's a proprietary "standard" and language controlled by a single vendor? - Gerald PS: I guess Ian cansomehow not bring himself to write XML UI languages instead of UI languages. ------------------- Gerald Bauer XUL Alliance | http://xul.sourceforge.net United XAML | http://xaml.sourceforge.net Interested in hiring Gerald Bauer?
