Hi Len Len said: No. HTML legacy is. Didier replies: I agree. Add to this a lack of incentive to move to a multi-device rendering architecture. From our research we discovered that, most of the time, the same content is not published on different devices, instead, different content is published on different devices. Even if MS Explorer can process, locally, decent stylesheets, the actual servers' infrastructure cannot leverage this feature by partitioning the transformation process between the server and the client. Conclusion: The web is still based on HTML and not yet on XML (with the exception of few successful XML publishing implementations). At Didier's labs, I let a robot run for several month in order to find published XHTML documents and guess what, I discovered only a few. When we compare the number of XHTML documents found to the size of the web we are talking here of the dimensions of a mountain ( a huge one)compared to the dimensions of an electron. So to speak, there's practically no XHTML documents on the web. Yep HTML is still the king of the web :-) Cheers Didier PH Martin
