![]() There's been a great deal of talk lately about how the future of markup will be an ever-greater division between structural markup (HTML/XHTML/XML) and layout markup (CSS/XSLT). This will let data flow more intelligently, speed development, ease revision, and cure measles. Curl, as a "one internet language," sounds like the exact opposite. Expect fierce ideological and practical opposition if it makes any real strides. |

![]() I thought this had been discussed before. I believe it is Curl that provides a free browser plugin (Surge) but charges the site for every byte of Curl code the user downloads - see pricing: |

![]() butcher: The charges are pretty low or nonexistent for everyone but medium to large business but I can see that as only the first part of their rolling out of a charging structure. I wonder what would happen in a few years time when everyone is using Curl and the nice technological orientated people have been ousted from the board and replaced by accountants who are only interested in the bottom line (no offence to anyone accounts here!!) and they start jacking up the charges. OK a nightmare scenario but once people are used to it then it would be tricky going back to the way we do it today. |
