Stuart,
You'll be pleased to know that I have indeed read what the Web
Standards Group is for, and that I understand what web standards are.
My original email was very clear that the method I suggested was
*proprietary*, given that no standardised approach exists for doing
what was asked. If there was, I would have promoted it.
If you're suggesting that my answer should have been "it is not
possible", your view of web standards and how they evolve is rather
regressive. Not only that, but it's also potentially harmful to the
promotion of web standards to end-users, developers and vendors, and
contrary to (in my not so humble opinion) the spirit of the WSG mandate.
