>>BTW, I use charon alot as well.

it's certainly our aim (and it's a company aim) to improve charon to
keep up with changes as best we can, but inevitably there will be some
things even so that cannot be done without the right binary plugin for
Internet Explorer or Netscape.  indeed, i'd be surprised if there were
not some sites that couldn't be viewed with Netscape.  come to think
of it, IE6 can't view some sites that IE5 could handle without
complaint because it seems to be more strict than IE5 or interprets
things differently.

i was hoping W3C & XML might be hit or at least slowed by the fall-out from .com collapse,
since much of the sillier XML ideas were driven by startups, but no such luck.
i find it more frightening for the science/art than SVGA.
