I think my concern lies with the "Curl Corporation," (Granted we all cower before Zope Corporation 8^)) although from appearances, the language standard seems to be public domain. It just smells like a Java-like semi-open-but-not-really standard that will prompt some eventual war with Microsoft (assuming it catches on), who will come out with Qurl, which is 99% compatible with Curl plus "extensions". Then 5 years later will come out with Db (D flat), a language that looks suspiciously like Curl, and force OEMs to ship it instead of the real thing...
Isn't it what M$ .net is suposed to be ? At least let's hope we'll finally have one standard. (like html ? ;-) ) Philippe
