[REBOL] rebol plugins

From: bry:itnisk at: 18-Sep-2003 15:52

This http://www.reboltech.com/plugins.html given the eolas patent http://news.com.com/2100-1032_3-5074799.html seems somewhat dicey. From reading the news.com.com article it seems likely to me that what Microsoft is going to do is to use an element behavior http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/behav iors/overview/elementb_ovw.asp specifically the solution would seem to be binary behaviors (always assuming that they can get W3 to go along, but they're owned nowadays): http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/beha viors/binbehaviors_node_entry.asp if we did that of course the rebol script would have to be mingled into the html as namespaced markup, for example <reb:script> ....do something here.... </reb:script> I seem to remember others discussing in the past the utility of representing rebol in xml, which this would give us the possibility to do. [This makes me think of Rebol Server Pages, which after all are a template language, a la asp, jsp etc. and the possibility of rsp having its own namespaced, xml compliant syntax. ]
