I like the diversity of markup languages myself... a language is oriented directly around a component set, or a timeline model, or some other abstraction of a particular experience in SWF. I can see the desirability of "one markup language to rule them all", but that seems like it would imply shoehorning a desired novel experience into a single pre-existing schema. That "repurposing" need you mentions seems like it will be a significant one, particularly after a year or two and work needs to be migrated from one environment to another. Schema-to-schema translations seem like they'd go further than trying to settle on just a few universal schemas up front...? jd -- John Dowdell . Macromedia Developer Support .
