Calling it "static" markup is misleading, as the whole premise of real DHTML rests on some kind of DOM. The first real DOM was in IE4, and NS4 has a twisted and sick DOM, that however usually managed to accomplish the desired effect. Any version of Mozilla (assuming post NS4) could be called modern, however only past say m9, did it achieve any kind of stability. Maybe I'll add to the article later :) SvendTofte
 
If i remember correctly, the term DHTML , at the time it was coined, usually referred to functionality available by the implementation of layers in Netscape. The term itself was invented, or stolen/adopted by Microsoft though.
The article should have some historical reference; early pioneers were Dan Steinmann, Eric Arvidsson and others(even though me and others played with it before the introduction of any terms). Today there is no relevant distinction between DHTML and AJAX as the 'X' was implemeted in DHTML libraries well before Garrett coined the AJAX buzz word.
