    Ending the web's dependence on Flash is a lot like ending dependence on foreign energy.

    1. It's a really good idea. 2. It's well within our ability to do it. 3. There are a million excuses for why no one is seriously committed to making it happen.

    I think you've come up with an excellent analogy.
