Dont lose heart Allen, MHEG is progressing. Early versions have been
successfully tested here in Europe as part of the Esprit Comis project.
The demo included text, graphics, images and 30 minutes of MPEG video
clips all presented in a complex interactive game.

MHEG is addressing the needs of realtime interactive multimedia and
hypermedia applications operating over a range of equipments, and using
wide area telecom and broadcast networks as well as storage devices. It
also takes into account the needs of minimal resource terminals. When
more applications of this sophistication are deployed, then I am sure we
will see more of MHEG.

Although MHEG will also be a CCITT Recommendation, most of the work is
being done in ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG12 (aka MHEG) at present. If anyone
wishes to participate in this work, they should contact their national
standards body. (Individuals do not participate directly in the work of
the ISO, they are accredited by their countries, who may impose
conditions.)
