Semantic mark-up; TV funding; new XHTML 2.0 draft
Pretty much decided to scrap the rant I was going to publish about the latest CSS debate. The arguments have been made quite rationally by a number of people I respect, so I don’t think there’s a need to go over them again here.
Related to all this, though, is a good article by Tim Bray on the semantic mark-up (via web-graphics).
Funding was approved for two of my favourite dramas (which happen to be Canadian) on TV right now: Da Vinci’s Inquest and the excellent Eleventh Hour. Canadian TV is a bizarre beast, and unlike the U.S., it doesn’t have the private finances to make truly profitable shows — without money, quality shows are extremely hard to produce. However, that does mean shows are governed by profits which does have its advantages.
If the Swiss Army invited an extension for Mozilla, it’d by this: the incredible ContextMenu Extensions (I’d seen it before but finally installed it tonight). There are a lot of powerful tools available with a click, especially for those who know CSS.
The W3C has released a new draft of XHTML 2.0. Some new (to me) features:
- more reasoning on the need for XHTML 2.0,
- an
editattribute to define modifications to the content, - a very interesting twist on
longdec, - a
blockcodeelement, - and more…but my connection to site died.
The future of Mozilla Composer
Practical e-paper is getting closer.
Nice.
