Did this go far enough? Imagine if we'd had a gallery element instead: <gallery type="slideshow" autoscroll="true"> <img src="one.jpg" /> <img src="two.jpg

If we'd left that sort of functionality up to the browser imagine the bandwidth saved on tbales for image galleries, javascript carousels, slideshows, etc. Not to mention having more control over elements like autoscroll behavior. Browsers seem to have added just enough functionality for web developers to abuse the document format into an application layer but not enough functionality for a good one.
Also, the first reply to that message (http://1997.webhistory.org/www.lists/www-talk.1993q1/0183.html http://1997.webhistory.org/www.lists/www-talk.1993q1/0183.ht...) sounds like the creation of the favicon.
