You might be right on the lateness issue. None the less I like that there's a standard way of doing it. It seems more future proof that way I think. :)
"When you have made evil the means of survival, do not expect men to remain good. Do not expect them to stay moral and lose their lives for the purpose of becoming the fodder of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce, when production is punished and looting rewarded. Do not ask, `Who is destroying the world?' You are."
-Atlas Shrugged, Ayn RandOh totally. Conformance to a standard (whatever the standard may be) is a wonderful thing. It instantly means that things become transportable. Look at Posix and XML.

Also I see the style attribute is not valid on any tag except font! So no more inline styles. That seems counter productive, although I am not for inline styles, they are handy for testing stuff.

I still can't believe that the best html tag ever created will be gone. The 1 letter b and i tag will be replace with with other meaning, this is ridiculous. This will create tons for breaking page, especially the forum where the user input could contains those tag. # Citation from the document # The b element now represents a span of text to be stylistically offset from the normal prose without conveying any extra importance, such as key words in a document abstract, product names in a review, or other spans of text whose typical typographic presentation is emboldened. The i element now represents a span of text in an alternate voice or mood, or otherwise offset from the normal prose, such as a taxonomic designation, a technical term, an idiomatic phrase from another language, a thought, a ship name, or some other prose whose typical typographic presentation is italicized. Usage varies widely by language.

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 1 out nowAFAIK That's going to get ugly with outlook and html email. The outlook team dropped the IE rendering engine in favor of words much less capable one (it works better in a pure exchange environment :rolleyes: X|) which has major problems with stand along style sheets.

How confusing is acronym? why is abbr better? One is a perfectly crumulent word describing a series of letters that make a word that stand for something else, the other is merely the forshortening of a word. They are NOT interchangable. NATO is and Acronym, not an abbreviation. I grant there are apocope and elisions, but even abbr is an abreviation, not an acronym. Why do people who do not have ENGLISH as their first language wish to bastardize it so readily?

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 1 out nowYep, I agree. Not only testing, but are handy at times to override a given style in a class on server controls (which have changing IDs) without having to define yet another class. I get tired of thinking less is more unless the less hinders more..

Yep, less typing was always better :)

No, it will not. Ever heard of DOCTYPE? (badly written websites aside.. X|)

Wow, my first impression is that W3C is trying to block Silverlight and XAML taking over the web and I think that's great. I would like to see 3D API for canvas but I guess 3D libraries can be built on top of the 2D API. I do agree that it's a little conflicting with Xforms and XHTML 2 but I guess they figure it's going to be easier for browsers to support HTML 5 in the short run. I love the new tags and attributes: command, details, datalist, event-source, output, progress, new input types, autofocus, ping, menu, back button API for AJAX... wow man.. if it holds, it's going to make things a lot easier and standardized for developers...
