Bill is on to something. Interoperability is precious, granted to us by forward-thinking people with no turf to defend. The next great interop battle in geospatial is over rendering geo content in the browser. I'm betting on the Web. #MapML

The shortcuts on the Firefox mobile home screen are less than useful. Don't control what they link to, seemingly arbitrary selection of links from history, pinned. I'm sure that changed from something useful at one point.
