I am not sure how the above relates to the last few posts, but.... You know very well what people mean, when they use the term "standard" in this sense. This is an idle chat, not a legal document....
Plus, don't you think this is a little bit Kafkaesque?
Flash has been for years, an is currently on virtually every desktop out there, it is used by a huge number of sites, it will shortly be on all the major mobile platforms, except the iPhone..., but you dismissed it, because it "has not been officially given "standard" status by any organization." ?!!
BTW, scottjl, the reason I included the "QT plugin missing" screen above, was to point to the irony, that Apple requires you to have a different, proprietary plugin, to view their content.
