> their web pages right now]
A few more data points. As we've gone around showing off our web authoring
tools, we get a _very_ strong reaction to the fact that users can lay out
and edit tables, then embed them in the resulting HTML documents either as
<PRE>s or as embedded GIFs. And the immediate follow-up question is, "Will
you support HTML 3.0 tables?"
While it's not true that 99% of all web _pages_ need tables, probably 90%
of all web _sites_ would like to have them for one or more pages. I vote
for a table spec, even a limited one, in HTML 2.1; waiting until HTML 3.0
risks allowing a proprietary standard to be established.
And, by the way, we're just waiting for the spec to be agreed upon to
start emitting HTML-standard tables. ..bruce..
