If you think that's bad, imagine being on the INSIDE of that connection. 
I'll move that essay to my external wsp soon...my wife says "what's the 
use in being married to a computer expert if he can't make your Internet 
connection reliable?" I have no good answer. Er, that's not true. My 
answer was: "try unplugging the network cable from the machine that's 
serving the blog. That might be the one causing problem."

XHTML could evolve into something exciting and new, but right now, to me 
it looks like a nip and tuck. I'd love to see XHTML 2.0 or 3.0 be 
essentially XHTML+XUL. But I would also be okay if SVG 2.0 is SVG+XUL. 
As long as we get an interface development language into the standard 
browser stack, I will be happy.

If XHTML's developers want to spend their effort on a nip and tuck, who 
am I to complain? Incremental changes can have benefits over the long term.
