No. Microsoft’s Channel Definition Format (CDF) is only in the submission phase at the W3C and is far from being an accepted standard. Netscape does not believe that CDF is necessary because netcasting can be implemented more flexibly with the existing open standards of HTML, Java, and JavaScript. Netcaster will be able to match CDF functionality by allowing content developers to use JavaScript to specify netcasting parameters. This approach will allow the Netscape netcasting platform to leverage existing standards and be open and flexible, versus forcing content developers into an unproven standard that has not been implemented in practice.
