Hi Jim -- Thank you for the link - what about the following opinions coming from "Firefox-camp" (read the articles): "What we do know is that in technology, we’ve never been served well by monocultures — we know this for sure. I worry that in our desire for clearer definition, easier standards, faster progress, we’re forgetting that we know this. Same as it ever was, I suppose." http://lilly.tumblr.com/post/43088488614/a-few-folks-have-asked-me-what-i-think-of-the-news "Why Mozilla Matters" - "At the Mozilla mission level, monoculture remains a problem that we must fight. The web needs multiple implementations of its evolving standards to keep them interoperable." https://brendaneich.com/2013/02/why-mozilla-matters -- Shamil Понедельник, 18 февраля 2013, 9:31 -08:00 от "Jim Lawrence" <accessd at shaw.ca>: >Hi Guys: > >I was reading the following article a few days ago and it was posted as a >objective view to webkit.
