Agree, although this in my opinion still means that Adobe dictates the
specification.

Sounds lovely, but I really doubt we will ever have any influence on
the specification, i.e. Adobe won't care about it and design the .SWF
format as it likes. Or, has ever any .PSD viewer had influence over
Photoshop, any OS .PDF reader over the format?
So, this means that Gnash will _always_ be one step behind.

I don't see this as a problem, though.
