Notwithstanding that XML is "SGML for the web", there are many strong use cases for XML off line.

For example, in my spare time I've been cooking up a little time-logging application, that takes my daily logs and crunches them to create my time sheets (as well as doing other things with the data). This is a classic one-source, several-stylesheets application, but it makes no sense at all to run it off the web. I want it to run off-line and standalone. CSS can't come close.

I'd like to share it at work, but some colleagues use Macs. And I'm still spoiled enough not to like being locked into *any* particular tool.

So let's not disparage the hope -- not yet completely forlorn -- that some day standards-based, platform-independent client-side processing will be possible. There are applications for it.

Also, as many unix user, i hate site saying : if you don't use IE, use
Netscape :-)
</rant>

I'd like any IE alternative. Nor am I saying I'd stop using IE. The app vendors should be keeping each other honest.

Cheers,
Wendell
