If it were only Microsoft... Lots of efforts have been launched and fallen short because of overreaching, impatience, bad timing, and so on. <philosophy> The most sublime discipline is that required not to act. Sometimes, it is to act knowing that all of one's effort simply prepared the ground, or in a sport's metaphor, to punch a ball all the way down the field only to hand it off for someone else to make a goal knowing full well that it will be their name in the record books for effort in which they only prepared for a single motion. Life is full of that. Step back and enjoy the results or be ready to take the afternext action. One thing about succeeding: it can freeze one into a maintenance mode instead of freeing one to innovate on the results. Sometimes the people with the awards are the very people invention routes around. </philosophy> Products don't create markets. Necessity does. Bliss emerges from the dancer but bliss exists before the dance. len From: juanrgonzaleza@c...

That was the error of Microsoft on web, Explorer, and Office and people choosed other ways, e.g OpenDoc. That was also the error of w3c and many people is receiving very well HTML5 and e4x both from outside of the w3c.
