I wonder whether others in the GA subscribe to the above newsletter at:

One interesting recent article was:

[ACC, INF - 26.10.2001] Has HTML had its day?  (The Guardian)
If you fancy a challenge, think about making the web redundant. Think about
getting all the programmers and designers who create web pages in HTML
(Hypertext Mark-up Language) to use something different. Think about
converting them to Curl. It sounds like a long shot, but it is by no means
impossible. The information technology industry is used to sweeping changes,
such as the move from Microsoft's MS-DOS to Windows, or from proprietary
networking systems to the internet's IP (Internet Protocol).
