I've probably comletely mis understood Web 2, I've always considered it to be a set of standards which basically state it's ok to do what people have been doing for a little while anyway (I'm sure there's a LOT more to it), then being a buzz word creating the issue you've described.

I've not read the Web 2 standards - I thought I'd better clarify that.

Humous,
I am not sure web 2.0 has a unified standards as yet but lets see if they can emerge with a standard everyone will support

We can only wait and hope.

Three words "Internet Explorer" and "apostrophe".

<gibberish usefullness="maybe">
just to clarify "&apos;" works in most browsers except IE and displays the code, I had to change it to & # 39; (take out spaces) which seems to work everywhere, though I doubt &apos; is actually part of the standards, it was still annoying though as I use &nbsp; for spacing and like to keep the same format.

-Edit-
&apos; is part of the XHTML standards, not HTML.
