>I think you are post-fixing > web architecture and conflating HTTP/REST and web browser > or Mosaic design skipping right over MIME. I don't understand this. First of all, what does MIME have to do with anything? Also, since when was a browser HTML only? Have you forgotten how MS was pushing IE as the information applicance of the future? The integration into the file management widgets? The word view plug ins and all that? How about Java applets? How about data islands, VML and all that? It seems you're the one missing history. The browser was hasn't been an HTML-only proposition since Netscape and Microsoft took over. It you're using Mosaic as your benchmark of what a browser has always been to users and developers, I think you're setting up a gigantic straw man, and I, for one, am not following you there. -- Uche Ogbuji Fourthought, Inc. http://uche.ogbuji.net http://4Suite.org http://fourthought.com Python&XML column: 2.
