Oh I don't know. I see it has a glass-half-full thing, and do not presume to judge. Software development is challenging, complicated work, and the development of technical specs no less, and it's understandable if a big vendor plays with cards close to the chest. Maybe it's just that my time frame is a little more extended than most -- to me, five years seems like hardly any time at all, considering what we're trying to achieve here.

BTW, has anyone done anything with XSLT and the new slideshow system from Eric Meyers?

It's really excellent, using a single file for an entire presentation, and doing everything with CSS and Javascript.
Nope: but XSLT slideware is nothing new.
True, but I've never been impressed enough with any of them to bother to use them.

It's a bit discouraging, BTW, to see the sad state of SVG on the client end. I just went to the Adobe page and note they've not released a new Mac OS X binary in three years!!!
