A browser-platform that understands [X]HTML/XForms/SVG/etc is not exactly what I'd call a thin client. ;) -----Original Message----- From: Mike Champion [mailto:mc@x...] Sent: Thu 11/21/2002 12:22 PM To: Xml-Dev Cc: Subject: Re: What is XHTML 2.0 for?

Hmmm ... There may not be an urgent need for the details of XHTML 2.0, but there is a VERY urgent need to promote the vision of the universal, XML-native, SVG/XForms/etc.-aware browser platform to counter the trends back to proprietary fat client systems that some seem willing to accept. I agree with Len (I think) that these are good options for industrial-strength vendors to have, but they can't be allowed to marginalize the Web as it is and could be. Of course, the challenge is more to get implementations of what there is than to standardize all the innovations coming from the browser developers, but there still needs to be a strong XHTML activity to center this on. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org <http://www.xml.org>, an initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from this list use the subscription manager: <http://lists.xml.org/ob/adm.pl>
