How does that actually work? It reads as if ecma runs on its
own virtual machine. So presumably if Flash were developed to run on
this it would be platform independent, and there wouldn't be a need
for *any* native Flash versions.

If ecma is ready in 2008, is there a realistic possibility of Flash
working in the same year.
