Yes, speaking at least from our shared experience with EXSLT, that got pretty good uptake from browser vendors, among others, and this is despite the fact that we never were really able to get our act together and polish all those spec modules. But I think the key was in keeping things simple and modular (that word "tractable" again), and focusing on the most urgent needs first (e.g. exsl:node-set). And that was my entire argument against the huge, monolithic specs that were being developed at the time. As to Mike's point about just having the browser vendors provide the hooks for implementation in whatever language, regardless of security problems, wouldn't that require users to install a plug-in? Isn't that well demonstrated to be impractical, except perhaps in Intranet? -- Uche Ogbuji http://uche.ogbuji.net Weblog: http://copia.ogbuji.net Poetry ed @TNB: http://www.thenervousbreakdown.com/author/uogbuji/ Founding Partner, Zepheira http://zepheira.com Linked-in: http://www.linkedin.com/in/ucheogbuji Articles: http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/publications/ Friendfeed: http://friendfeed.com/uche Twitter: http://twitter.com/uogbuji http://www.google.com/profiles/uche.ogbuji
