No, I need my house ;)

Ok, I think the good ol' Jakob talks about problems related with PDF
seamless integration with the web, and in this field we have better
technologies. Again, I'm sure that we cannot find a better technology to do
what pdf does, that's why I am so frustrated every time my clients' browser
crash with Acrobat.

Well, er... that's soooo Jakob....

Uhm.. sounds like a good solution to *use* XML into PDF technology, but imho
usability issues are still there.
