i read the article. certainly didn't sound promising, but i think that
some of the comments were quite germane about having site developers
recode their pages to standards. i guess putting it in that perspective
makes more sense. if browsers and software developers developed to
standards then "old" pages would have to be recoded to standards and the
rest of us could go forth. pie-in-the-sky? maybe, but something is
going to have to give.
one of the authors mentioned that we, the coders, serve ms -- i thought
it was the other way around. is the industry going to continue to
accept product development that supports inferior standards? i hope not.
cheers,
