Over the next couple years, we’ll continue to adopt standards online that will wipe HTML 4 and xHTML off the map. It will live on in XSL but will evolve drastically as more sites start to implement it. We should have already been working from this, but people just tend to think there’s no reason when it seems fine working with old ideas. We need to stop thinking that way!
If you don’t know the benefits of xml and xslt, you suck! So what I don’t use it here, I’m working on that. And I’m not the one that wrote the blog software I use. Give me a bit….
I was talking to someone extremely clueless about this stuff that sparked this post. I just couldn’t understand why someone that is in this field, couldn’t know about any of this.
If you don’t know what the hell I’m talking about, you need to visit the w3c for web standards and go beyond what they’re recommending.
If you don’t know what microformats are, you need to know. The adoption of this, as the standards evolve, will lead to an improved and more interconnected social network. It will break our data out of the hands of the social site owners and advertisers and bring it back to the public, connecting all networks.
