Perhaps the person who said this (now lost in the midst of time) doesn't

know about the about the future for non-standard browsers eg: the new deal

done by AOL in the States with 3Com where, I imagine - and forgive me if I'm

wrong, but the advent of XML and HTML4 has made possible the downloading of

information in to almost innumerable different browser types, not simply

those on a PC screen for an "average" (ic) user.


And perhaps this person would like to explain to anyone using a non standard

browser (say for example, if the user is partially sighted) why the

ridiculous prediliction that some UK designers have for creating sites

almost entirely in Flash is a *good* thing, and HTML is not?
