Our library had a passing curiosity with DHTML, but when we tried viewing
examples of it at Microsoft's site, we were soundly unimpressed with the
reliability. It will evenually be a fun tool, but at this point it means
more work, for questionable results, for fewer patrons.  We have better
things to spend our time on (though, I will admit that I have been playing
with it's programming at home...)
