- If there is a hytime construct which is better than what we
- have then I'd be very happy to get it included in the next format.
- We just need some people to work on that format formally.
- Basically, anything which worries you is going to worry us just
- as much!
-
- There is a mailing list ww-announce, and another www-talk.
- How to join ius on the web (under "mailing lists").
- Annocuncements are (too) rare, talk is sometimes heavy,
- sometimes not.

- Yes, us too. But my impression is that the INTENTION of HyTime is to
- be able to use whichever portions are appropriate. Certainly
- hypertext-only applications were envisioned. Personally, I think that
- HyTime's alinks are the most elegant link structures I've seen.
- They're completely generic n-ary relations.
-
- The gain would be standard adherence for long-run compatibility. I'd
- hate to start marking our nodes up in your HTML only to find it's of
- limitted compatibility with the world 10 years from now.
-
- Thanks for the reply. I'm glad that Newcomb is involved. What's the
- best way to keep informed about how W3 is proceedingd? Just
- periodically reading the "What's New" node? Or do you have a separate
- pamil or email list?
