I share your view... the success and prominence I can handle, the
incompetence, and arrogance (in the face of the responsibility)
are unforgivable.
A lot of really good prior art existed... at least they could have
plagiarised something halfway decent instead of implementing, and
disseminating, something clearly Broken As Designed (BAD) (if I'm not
mistaken, you're the one who had very early prototypes of stylesheets
and applet-like functionality right?)
