This document defines how SVG effects are extended to apply to CSS-formatted elements. In particular, it makes the 'filter', 'mask' and 'clip-path' CSS properties and SVG paint servers applicable to CSS-formatted elements (such as HTML elements).

Adobe vs. Microsoft
Gartner analyst Ray Valdes said 90 percent of the top global 1,000 companies have yet to deploy any sort of RIA, while 90 percent of the top 100 consumer Web sites have already done so using the nonproprietary and more simple AJAX format.
That opportunity has Microsoft eyeing current leader Adobe for business that extends beyond Silverlight and into the sale of design tools along with server and database software to enable these new applications.

a framework for JavaScript applications called
ViewsHandler. ViewsHandler is not another JavaScript templating solution but works on the assumption that in most cases you'll have to create a lot of HTML initially but you'll only have to change the content of some elements dynamically as new information gets loaded or users interact with the app. So instead of creating a lot of HTML over and over again all I wanted to provide is a way to create all the needed HTML upfront and then have easy access to the parts of the HTML that need updating.
The first thing you'll need to do to define your application is to create an object with the different views and pointers to the methods that populate the views:

One of the comments to this post really caught my eye: ...... "Flash has always had better rendering consistency across platforms. However, HTML is much easier to build.
I always wondered why someone (Adobe?) doesn’t build a HTML/CSS/JS to Flash bridge. Sort of like sIfr but for the whole page. I really thought AIR could be that bridge. Write once, and render anywhere. :) ......... "
The thing is, the Adobe AiR runtime implements the WebKit layout engine. Whcih means WebKit documents based on HTML/CSS/JS should render just fine.
The real question will be how Adobe AiR handles the EcmaScript mess! Will they go with the ActionSript 3 version of JS - the one that is optimised for Tamarin? Or will they scale back to the MIcrosoft-Yahoo crippled version of official EcmaScript? My guess is that they push forward with ActiveScript 3 and try to convince WebKit and Mozilla groups to carry the open sourced Tamarin JiT. That would protect AiR developers as well as those who are seriously concerned about the future of the open web going forward.

Blog from James Governor covers an exchange with Adobe's David Mendels concerning the transition from the static document centric Web 1.0, to the dynamic application platform we know today as the Web 2.0. David discusses the transition from DHTML to AJAX to RIA. David and his group at Adobe witnessed the transition and coined the phrase RIA - Rich Internet Application, to describe this incredible transition. No mention of WebKit as an important aspect enabling the interactive - dynamic document model behind Adobe RIA.

Aaron Miller writes about the limitations and difficulties with ePUB. He suggests a new format, "BOOK" based on ePUB but web ready. BOOK is an AJAX format in that it includes (X)HTML, CSS and JavaScript! Excellent stuff! The discussion on this page is one of the best on the Web. ePUB gets thrashed, but with arguments very difficult to contest. The web is everything, and Aaron's friends fully understand this. Sadly, the ePUB crowd does not. I found this site looking to solve the problem of numbered lists in ePUB.
