I would second this!

I would also like to see support for Progressive JPEG besides baseline JPEG  
(it is a bit unclear on the WWW page).

Do you have plans for
- server push
- client pull
- livescript
- SSL

(Yes, I know, Netscape sucks, but as William pointed out, this is the market)

BTW has anybody heard something from NeXT regarding a API for NeXTTIME? This  
would make inline NeXTTIME possible.
This leads to the question: Is there a bundle API for inline objects? Besides  
PDF and NeXTTIME, MPEG and sound comes up as my next ideas in this area...  
However this would be really only something for bundles...
I don't have any idea on OOE, but the few things I read sound interesting for  
using this for inline objects...
Yeah, I know I get carried away, but there are so much interesting floating  
around....
