Chuq Von Rospach And my bottom line on all of this? That we're going to end up with two protocols that do the same thing somewhat differently, and who uses what will boil down to which personalities they conflict with, given there are good personalities to conflict with on both sides. Regardless of how many protocols there are, all good aggregators will need to know what to do with them. Case in point: Photoshop works with what, over 40 different file formats that all do the same basic thing? Sure, some have alpha channel data, some have vector data... they were all made for their specific uses, and all were created anew because all other formats that were available were deemed inadequate... So, by version 7.0, photoshop can work with all these slightly different same things. speaking of Chuq Von Rospach.. man, that name's unforgettable. Did you work at Adobe? marchFIRST?
