Promoting a paragraph

[Shawn J.P. West (BlackSheep)]

I agree but I think the one problem I have with all of this is there is no
"definitive" source for what peopel are using and what the browser trends
are. I mean because Tom gets a certain amount of hits on his site does
that mean that it's a trend?

All these standards are based on stuff that will be old hat by the
time they are adopted. And if they are they will bececome a subset of
whatever micorsoft and netscape does instead of the other way around.

The browsers are outside of css growing further apart on what they
support. Micorsoft decided to ban java applets from their site, or at
least they announced that. Netscape had not even really acknowledged the
existance of vbscript and microsofts tools.

This whole HTML thing has become more about what the big guys promote
than what the users really want, which was a better information model
than multimedia expierence. 

this is my 2cents
