The problem is that even when you have a committee creating the
standards and rules ... some moronic big company often thinks they know
better and goes around making up their own "standards" and "rules",
creating a massive mess and confusion, and trying to force everyone
else to do it the same way. In the past that moronic company has been
Microsloth with their stupid non-standard Internet Explorer web
browser. I can see Adobe *potentially* doing the exact same thing here
with HTML5.
