I still see this as an implementation concern, not a conceptual concern. It's like anything else: some people will really abuse it and many of those will do so when it becomes available. Any new technology is pretty much instantly used to produce crappier crap. HTML, Flash, DHTML, etc - at first people went crazy (some still are) but it does settle down rather quickly (due primarily, I think, to peer pressure). Even text has this problem - Google some of the holy wars about signature length in USENet circa 1994-1995. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm
