- Funny, I always thought a standard was what the majority of people
- were using at the time, whether it was official or not. Since most of the
- WWW seems to have adopted Netscape as their browser of choice, they seem to
- have solved the question of standards through conquest of the market.
- If the group that determined HTML standards managed to write the best piece
- of language standards in the world but nobody used them, have they still
- written a standard?

- Why are so many people so horrified at the prospect of an Amiga browser
- being NHTML compatible? Is there really an advantage in not being able to
- view pages the way their designers intended? Must we follow standards at the
- expense of ignoring the real world?
