Glargggl (french onomatopoeia expressing shock and breathlessness...)

I thought, due to my terrible ignorance, that XML XSL XLL and others were
handled by W3C working groups and that W3C working groups are created by
a vote of the members of the W3C. I even thought that W3C members can say
no to a proposed recommandation saying "drop it and drop all work on this
item". God, I even believed that w3c members pay for that and that w3c does
AC meetings so w3c members can directly express their opinions.

But maybe all the requests for votes I keep in my w3c folder are
just a dream and maybe the "no" answer we issued once is just an
hallucination :-) If my memory is good enough, I even saw a MS "no"
on SMIL...

BTW and FYI, we are not doing what will be able to do XSL through scripting.
We're about *now* to do the same *without* any line of scripting.

Well, Midas did the same with gold...
