so let me be among the first to say "happy b-day" to project gutenberg on this sunny 4th-of-july weekend. the longevity of this cyberlibrary is due to the intelligent vision of its founder michael hart who saw the power of keep-it-simple philosophy with insistence on plain text, baby... so it is not without massive irony that we mark a new development: the w3c working group for xhtml2 will stop work at the end of 2009...
instead, there'll be a new emphasis on html5 -- as "the future of html". in other words... all those technocrats telling you that "xml is the future" for the last decade were just plain flat-out purely wrong. good thing you didn't listen to 'em, eh? thanks, michael, for your vision and for the tenacity of your persistence... -bowerbird ************** A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
