I do not in any way mean to imply otherwise. I would recommend that AdaIC & ARA aim for all web pages served to contain _nothing_ contrary to the latest HTML, XML, and CSS specifications, and accessibility guidelines. HOWEVER, that does not mean they are required to use every feature. Last time I checked, there existed NO browser that correctly handles every feature, and some browsers do a VERY poor job. A well-designed PORTABLE website should only use features that render reasonably well on most browsers. A good Ada programmer is not going to scatter tasking and generics all over the place just because he/she is able to. Many of us do not use the outstanding Annex E features because only one compiler supports them. If the mission is to provide information about Ada, then to use HTML or CSS features that trash 25% of the Web browsers would be counter-productive. -- Wes Groleau http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~wgroleau
