Two years ago nobody cared about HTML.
In two years time, nobody will care for HTML ;-)
Hence, the moral (its late at night here in Aussie land)
is that whatever we build, it will be a legacy system,
so we must make sure that if we embed X into Y, we can always
get X out of Y and into Z.
Good night all, and dream about what Z could be like!
