That isn't exactly a compelling argument for progress. Or maybe there won't be progress until something in the toolkit can't do the job, or something in the job needs a new feature. Maybe being an elderly type, I've sat through enough evolution of the web and the systems that predate it to know that everything old becomes new again in someone else's garage. We had to use nails and hammers to build ships until someone worked out that wrapping a surface around a nail worked out to be a leverageable nail known thereafter as a screw. Now not only wood, but other materials could be used to build securely given a screwdriver. Sigh.. the next generation of global hypermedia will have to evolve in a different pond. Tautologies are the dominant lifeforms in this one. len From: Uche Ogbuji [mailto:uche.ogbuji@f...] I just want to point out that I like AFs. I like the ideas behind them, and I appreciate the arguments that have been made that they are a more general system than namespaces. My point is that this is all abstract AFAIC, because I don't use them. None of my tools do, and I haven't got around to using anything that does. I do use namespaces all the time, though, and usually with little incident, so I am naturally fine with a solution based on NS.
