CSS is not enough popular beacause it's not XML based syntax.
With an XML syntax, it would allow us to generate or manipulate dynamically the Style of our web sites without waiting the DOM implementation (for the javascript sample). If a non Web developper want to use CSS for it's desktop application, he must think "How to begin this" ! If it was XML based, he would do it immediately and CSS would be even more STANDARD.
My question for Hakon : Will you do it ? Or must i make my own XML+XSLT to generate CSS.
This law is not for French customers but for the majors.
The goal was to force DRM everywhere event if the content was a free WebRadio with free content.
The second goal was to allow justice actions against every software that could be used to break copyright laws. (aka : remove DRM, exchange files, etc, etc.)
The third goal was to track users who share and download files to make sanctions.
BUT
They tryed to vote the law the 23 december 2005 at 23h pm so nobody is at the parlement to oppose the law.
They declared this law "urgent" so no consultation is needed.
French associations mobilised and include an amandement to make file sharing LEGAL.
So the law project was blocked for a while.
Now, discussions in the parlement has come back again and the debate is ridiculous : some want DRM and sanctions and others want free filesharing with taxes.
I think this law project will be completely removed, but who knows ?
Wait the vote if you really want to know what my country will do about file sharing. For now, everything and it's contrary has been told.

The Microsoft .NET platform is rapidly migrating to C# instead of Visual Basic.
And one day, MS will drop VB from their SDKs.
Sample ? The DirecX SDK can't use VB now, it's C# instead.
