Just a brief entry today as time is short.
I got a lot of great feedback for yesterday's entry - OPTGROUP and the Pace of Standards. It was a mixed set of responses that were both educational and entertaining. I love the feedback, so if you have a comment please feel free to drop me a line (I might post an entry about your comments, though I won't quote you without your permission. Note that I do monitor referrals, so if you make your comment on a blog with a link, it will be noted just like a trackback).
It is remarkable how quagmired the base foundation of the web, HTML, has become. We live in the most dynamic software world that has ever existed, yet much of the infrastructure is the same artefacts from the 90s duct taped together in precarious (and grotesquely redundant) ways.
