HTML Extensions followup
Lot’s of stuff going on since my original post about apples proprietary html extensions, herein a bunch of recommended posts if you’re interested in the matter:
- Tim Bray: How To Grow HTML - his first followup
- Dave Hyatt: Implementation of HTML Extensions Proposal - as i understand, he proposes a new namespace describing a superset of html which would replace the whole html namespace. Hmmm…
- Ian Hickson: Extending HTML - a bunch of possible solutions and what’s wrong with them. Also some good reasoning against replacing the xhtml namespace with your own homebrewn namespace.
- Tim Bray: Extending HTML, Again - some mild criticism of the new namespace proposal
- Eric Meyer: Extended Dash - his take on the idea
- Dave Winer weighs in - he doesn’t believe the web’s gonna go the xml route
And from the old-but-new-to-me department: two posts by Eric Meyer. Hardly related, but also of interest: the Gillmor Gang interviews Brendan Eich, chief architect of the mozilla foundation. Didn’t have time to check this one out yet.
Could please someone whack me hard to get out of web standards obsession mode?
