>From what I've read, Interchange is supposed to seperate the "three spheres
of influence''.  However as far as the "html" as they call it goes, it gets
a little carried away with templates, tags, themes, and imbedded code that
is not compatible with industry standard design tools, ie Dreamweaver. No
designer would ever figure this system, nor should they be expected to. The
design would still have to submitted to a developer where it could be
integrated into the store. Relating to physics, the bigger the mass of a
body (the sphere) the stronger the gravitational field -- looks like these
"three spheres" are pulled together and starting to merge.
