Nevertheless HTML is robust.
Tried to make moderately complicated cross-browser compatible javascript
before? Even some pure HTML constructs simply don't fly with all of the
browsers. Hence the problem ESR was alluding too. Just to clarify, I
do think that generally HTML works remarkably well considering all that
is asked of it these days. I just always associate ESR's account of
McIlroy's take on Postel, and the occasional little personal horrors
I've encountered in dealing with HTML. :)
Postel's philosophy for robustness works when applied to social situations too.
Certainly won't deny that. :)
