Yes, but: before becoming part of the standard, most of these innovations were extended, expanded, generalised and made consistent with the way existing standards worked. Not every single proprietary extension made its way into the standard. Every extension was scrutinised by a larger group without - ideally - a vested interested in breaking any existing standard. Then again, according to the "article" (rant): changing standards = OXYMORON ;) P ________________________________ Patrick H.
