Downloadable fonts are part of the CSS 2 specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/fonts.html. The ability to run web applications offline is also being specified as part of HTML 5, though that portion of the specification is still under discussion: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#offline.

Sorry about that, I assumed most people who read this blog would be familiar with the term. I’ll have to post a glossary or something.

Please don’t publish articles with acronyms that you don’t explain. Maybe HTML is okay but I’m very tech-savvy, and I had to look up “RIA”.

What’s RIA?

It’s worth noting that you can now use OpenLaszlo (the “original” Flex, now open source and widely adopted) without Flash. It can compile its RIA markup into browser-native JavaScript (as well as Flash), and the result looks identical in both cases, with full interactivity and animation. The performance of OpenLaszlo applications in the recent WebKit nightly builds is simply great — this browser outpaces Flash in execution speed as well as in rendering and animation speed. OpenLaszlo also takes advantage of non-standard HTML features implemented in WebKit such as vector drawing (via the canvas tag) and object rotation.

Next up: off-line, desktop shortcuts, media…

See http://www.openlaszlo.org/ for more info & demos.
