Hi


I have to say that Gerald is right; it's a direct competitor to HTML and to
XUL. However the main target is not to create document per se but rich
client applications with all the characteristics of web applications. The
biggest impact will be on those who promoted the fat server/light client or
in other word, the reincarnation of the mainframe paradigm.

Cheers
Didier
