Except all the browsers on platforms Macromedia have not chosen to
support. And no-one else can implement it on those platforms, except
by guessing about the closed implementation specification that
Macromedia have an interest in keeping a secret.
Whereas HTML, CSS and any other technologies standardised by standards
bodies have open specifications and multiple independent compatible
implementations, and anyone who finds their platform under-supported
can follow the open specifications and get a full working
implementation.
