The GRDDL WG seem to be on to the lack of @profile in both the HTML 5 and XHTML 2 WG draft specifications. 2007-06-27T17:11:05Z

Cristiano Betta on Essential Web: "So, another few sessions have come and gone and I am seriously getting tired. This conference is realy, realy VC oriented and this is most noticable when you consider the abnormal VC vs startups ratio" 2007-06-27T15:22:02Z

I just love this:

What the wider Web community needs is a language which, if implemented by a Web browser, will result in a browser that can render all the existing content on the Web, and which will have new features to make the Web a better place. XHTML2.0 is not such a language - a browser that only supports XHTML2 could not render existing Web content correctly.

Yes, and a browser that supports only XHTML 1.1 will not render existing content. A video recorder that plays only VHS tapes will not play Beta tapes.

Is the removal of support for HTML in User Agents a requirement for adoption of XHTML 2? Are the XHTML WG demanding that XHTML 2 becomes a drop-in replacement for HTML 4 and XHTML 1? Of course not.

Currently in: Kent, England

I am a vegetarian, an atheist, like to code in Ruby and Scala (and Java, but let’s not talk about that), and noodle about with microformats and the Semantic Web.

I have an MA in philosophy from Heythrop College, University of London. My philosophical interests are in analytic metaphysics, ontology, modality, the work of Armstrong, Lewis, Kripke, Russell and Plato. I have a strange, unfulfilled interest in Gadamer’s hermeneutics. I’ve been influenced by Gadamer, by Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Rawls and Nozick.

Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.

I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in. I occasionally produce audio recordings for The Pod Delusion.
