>>> I don't see where the web involvement is "happening already"

OK, not in a big way. But it's happening. And the web can skirt the issue of formats to a great extent, because each outfit can build their own JPEG/Video/Audio. You can use SSL and shttp and PGP for security in transmission. Mostly you have in-house stuff and research results at this point, but that will change.

>>> I'm not sure I'D agree the medical industry is getting there!!!

Medicine is slow to change, for sure. It may need something like the DOD effort in computer communications that founded the Internet. Just because one industry captive department has failed, that is not a reason to give up. People die because of this stuff.
