Jon Udell writes about the continued, important role that open, extensible web browsers play in the Internet applications landscape. The discussion centers around the apparent mismatch between document-centric web browsing/programming and rich clients such as Macromedia Flash or Microsoft InfoPath. Like John Dowdell, I think Jon is right about the dominant role that web document-based applications play and will continue to play, though I think the world he's looking for -- apps containing XML documents that can be searched, extracted from and manipulated -- is also central to new rich client platforms such as Macromedia Central and Royale, and Microsoft's forthcoming Avalon.
