And let us remember the brief flurry of interest last year when it turned out that Microsoft (apparently not the IE guys, who were convincingly baffled) was granted a patent more or less on the notion of stylesheets. Totally ridiculous given the prior art, and after a couple of ill-conceived and quickly-forgotten PR miscues, MS wisely let the silly thing die a quiet and merciful death; this should serve as an example to the rest of the industry. Just recently Yahoo got a patent on the notion of serving web pages by caching data in memory and using it to fill templates at run-time. My brother is an industrial designer, and co-holder of a patent for an ingenious doohickey that mixes gas samples quickly and efficiently in support of gas-chromatograph applications. You should have seen the work they had to do to get it. A different universe... -Tim xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
