This issue looks at, and celebrates, new developments that enhance the ability,
and flexibility, of the Web to deal with varied, difficult, and challenging
problems.
 
HTTP, the HyperText Transfer Protocol foundation for the Web, has just reached
version 1.1.  (Yes, while Netscape and Internet Explorer are at 3.0, and HTML
is at 3.2, the basics take a little longer to develop.)  This will provide more
effective use of network resources.
 
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is announced as the new "recommended" standard
for images, replacing GIF.
 
The work on the PICS (Platform for Internet Content Selection) 1.1 rating
system is also reported.
