Heh heh... yeah, I've been accused of that.

>>b) the standards battle (MS vs. the rest of the world) is over, and the rest of the world won: proprietary standards for browsers are out, and W3C standards are in (with some qualifications, as in h.264, but MS is making that freely available).

>>c) tools are available to write to standards (and to check that you've written to standards)
