Hi Shamil: You have just brought up the reason for standards like HTML5/CSS3. They became necessary when companies started creating, half-heartedly supporting and eventually dumping proprietary coding standards that only worked correctly in certain environments. " XAML and SilverLight " are the latest of a long list of proprietary coding efforts and are not universally accepted or are not likely to be so. Most browser are not IE and every year the percentage number of IE browser get less. According to the latest statistics only 16 percent of web developers develop in IE and for good reason. Lack universal standards and proprietary products is the main cause. The new young developers are looking for Open standards so in fifty years they will still be working.
