 Yes the blog _seems_ to be about web standards, but the posts are just

 speculation of poor quality and based on the lack of information, 
 misunderstanding and false assumptions.

 Sure, the guy has financial interest of keeping xhtml afloat, so he 
 may see the HTML5 as a threat, but that's not a good enough reason to

Hi Rimantas

Why did I post this link? Because the article has an interesting take  
on HTML5.


This does mean that I agree or disagree with the article. I hoped that  
the article would lead to discussion and debate. I had also hoped that  
any discussion or debate would be conducted in a respectful manor  
(regardless of how strongly one feels that the other party is  
incorrect) and that anyone involved in the discussion would present  
their arguments rationally and calmly without sinking to personal  
attacks on other web standards group members (yes, the person who  
wrote the article is a member of this group).


Ahhh... I give up... there is no hope.

 Can you provide any reason why you keep posting links to this site?
 Yes the blog _seems_ to be about web standards, but the posts
 are just speculation of poor quality and based on the lack of
 information,
 misunderstanding and false assumptions.

 Sure, the guy has financial interest of keeping xhtml afloat, so he
 may see the HTML5 as a threat, but that's not a good enough
 reason to spout nonsense.

Re: [WSG] [WSG Announce] Some links for light reading (22/12/09)

2009-12-22 Thread Rimantas Liubertas
 It obviously worked in provoking discussion.

Where do you see discussion there? Does keep them coming count as one?
I am all for them coming but I'd like some QA applied to them too.

 (And I reserve the right to keep my opinion about the original commenter to
 myself ;-)

Don't be shy. I will stick to my right (I hope I have one) to call BS
when I see it.
Just as I did five years ago when Vlad was pushing similar FUD about HTML
on this same list. Now seems like he has a new target.

 Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds
 discuss people.
 - Eleanor Roosevelt

I was discussing the quality of the posts on rebuildingtheweb.com. I
still think that
this groups deserves better than writings of the guy who calls end
tags elements
and thinks that missing end tags for html and body elements in HTML4 is invalid
markup.
Seems Russ and you opted to discuss me instead. Do you think that quote
still applies?

2009-12-22 Thread Rimantas Liubertas
 I reckon HTML5 Nazis

I thought I was being rude there…

 should chill our regarding the XHTML debates as HTML5
 and XHTML are interchangeable terms.

How so? HTML5 has XML serialization, but that does not make HTML5 and XHTML
interchangeable in any way.

 Comments like this other guy made just add unnecessary negativity to the
 whole thing.

So no matter how wrong someone is nobody can say that without being unnecessary
negative?

 Russ is a legend in his own right and no one should even attempt to cyber
 bully him. ;-)

Asking for a basic QA when choosing links for light reading counts
as cyber bullying?
This place gets stranger and stranger…

Guys,
Shouldn't this be a separate thread?

Thx

Re: [WSG] [WSG Announce] Some links for light reading (22/12/09)

2009-12-22 Thread Jason Grant
Rimantas:

HTML5 guys keep saying that HTML5 supports XML syntax, hence us XHTML freaks
can use XHTML5 without having to complain about anything. Maybe have a
discussion with our friend Bruce Lawson who will essentially tell you the
same thing.

I think you are being a bit too harsh on our friend Russ for posting some
links. I regularly disagree with a lot of stuff he posts, but I leave a
comment on the relevant blog to express my view, not blaming the messenger
in the process.

The world we live in is pretty strange. If HTML5 kicks in officially at some
point, it will be even stranger. There's no doubt about that in my mind.

Regards,

Jason

2009-12-22 Thread Rimantas Liubertas
 Guys,
 Shouldn't this be a separate thread?

Maybe there shouldn't be any thread in the first place. On the other
hand, my complaint
was about Some links.

Anyhow, I won't bother you anymore. My apologies to anyone offended.
Have a great holidays
and less Out of office replies next year.

Best wishes,
Rimantas

At least give me the option of reading your pages in English if you are 
going to argiue a point here on the list in English...otherwise I am forced 
to believe predjuice in your 'rant' here that may not be reflected in your 
opinions online.  Aren't we all 'one in the same' - those who embrace this 
communication technology called the internet or are we going to let it 
segregate us as history dictates??
