>MHTML was proposed as an open standard to the IETF but somehow it never took off.
I had always wished MHT replaced PDF. But due to the rivalry at the time Firefox refuse to support MHT ( even to this day ). Webkit has WebArchive which as far as I know isn't support outside of Apple's ecosystem.
I dont actually buy the argument it was Vista that slows down IE development. IE 7 wasn't that much difference to IE 6. It shows Microsoft had very little incentive to improve the Web. I dont know how many actually hate them for not complying with ACID "Standards". I certainly dont. But at the time the Web has so many low hanging fruit a lot of people ( or just me ) were pissed Microsoft didn't even bother improving while holding the web standard hostage with its IE dominance. Along with the crap called Windows Vista.
Luckily we got the first iPhone, 2 (?) years later. And the rest is history.
