A pungent mix of programming, philosophy, pedanticism, procrastination, perplexity, peripheral political polemic, and platters of preposterousness.
Cristiano Betta on Essential Web: “So, another few sessions have come and gone and I am seriously getting tired. This conference is realy, realy VC oriented and this is most noticable when you consider the abnormal VC vs startups ratio”
The GRDDL WG seem to be on to the lack of @profile in both the HTML 5 and XHTML 2 WG draft specifications.
I just love this:
What the wider Web community needs is a language which, if implemented by a Web browser, will result in a browser that can render all the existing content on the Web, and which will have new features to make the Web a better place. XHTML2.0 is not such a language - a browser that only supports XHTML2 could not render existing Web content correctly.
Yes, and a browser that supports only XHTML 1.1 will not render existing content. A video recorder that plays only VHS tapes will not play Beta tapes.
Is the removal of support for HTML in User Agents a requirement for adoption of XHTML 2? Are the XHTML WG demanding that XHTML 2 becomes a drop-in replacement for HTML 4 and XHTML 1? Of course not.
