FLASH: Curious on views of XHTML

[Kevin Jackson]

This quote was in a recent ComputerWorld article on XHTML by Matthew

Schwartz


"XHTML will ultimately replace proprietary Web file formats such as Portable

Document Format files and FLASH and other multimedia formats. For example,

the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL Version 1.0,

pronounced SMILE) allows designers to describe the temporal behavior and

layout of a web page as well as associate hyperlinks with objects. Along

with the Scalable Vector Graphics XML standard, designers could create

animation or even augment television feeds using XML."


My view is that he is a bit naive and overly simplifying but am I missing

something about the standard?

I'd love to sell out completely. It's just that nobody has been willing to

buy. - John Waters
