Re: [whatwg] RDFa statement consistency

2008-08-30 Thread Kristof Zelechovski
Plain text loses context under copy and paste as well.  I doubt it is
possible to express complex cultural phenomena without context of any kind.
When you paste a fragment of another document, you usually have to provide
some information about the context of the fragment.

 I like GRDDL, too, but it has problems with respect to scaling similar 
 to microformats. Things will get complicated when you want to combine 
 statements from different vocabularies on the same page.
 
 The completely prefixless microformat naming approach isn't good when 
 different microformats overlap and common words have been allocated 
 badly. It works if you can decide that all classes that are on 
 descendants of a class identifying a format root belong to that format 
 (i.e. the subtree root is effectively the prefix).

Yes. But in that case the format is fragile under copypaste, just as 
prefix-based approaches.





[whatwg] In correct HTML 5 tutorials

2008-08-30 Thread Biju [EMAIL PROTECTED]
http://www.w3schools.com/ is a very popular tutorial site.
They have already started tutorials for HTML5
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/html5.asp

I see errors
at http://www.w3schools.com/tags/html5_video.asp
and http://www.w3schools.com/tags/html5_audio.asp

autoplay == true | false
controls == true | false

As far as I know autoplay=false
also means enable autoplay in firefox.

I wish somebody contact them to correct those and other errors.

Otherwise people start using autoplay=false to disable autoplay.
and some vendors will start supporting that.
while others will go by w3 standards

Which in turn will bring trouble to user who surf the site
using a browser which is not the one used by the web developer.

Yes, that is annoying. It's always at the top of the search result.
w3schools has no relationship with the w3c. It is not the most
reliable source of information.

Starting tutorials for a working draft in progress sounds like a bad idea.

 I wish somebody contact them to correct those and other errors.


With advertisement bringing in money, it seems that SEO might take
priority over properly educating web developers.

The fact that the comp.lang.javascript FAQ links to it doesn't help.
