- I agree with Bill in leaving the style settings to the browser.
- The long term success of HTML and WWW will depend on our resisting
- the temptation to add style information to HTML. This is critically
- important to supporting a wide range of document types, and continued
- presentation independance on a wide and evolving range of platforms.
- Have you see the screen sizes on PDAs?
-
- We have a chance to come up with a ubiquitous world beating standard.
- This will depend on presentation independence, lightweight processing
- demands and our skill at understanding people's real needs for a wide
- range of on-line and paper documents.
