XHTML!
Useless trivia-that-means-absolutely-nothing-unless-you’re-bored-and-unemployed: I was retooling my page to make it XHTML-compliant yesterday. What does that mean? Well, according to the World Wide Web Consortium, it’s because of two reasons…
1. Document developers and user agent designers are constantly discovering new ways to express their ideas through new markup. In XML, it is relatively easy to introduce new elements or additional element attributes. The XHTML family is designed to accommodate these extensions through XHTML modules and techniques for developing new XHTML-conforming modules (described in the forthcoming XHTML Modularization specification). These modules will permit the combination of existing and new feature sets when developing content and when designing new user agents; and
2. Alternate ways of accessing the Internet are constantly being introduced. Some estimates indicate that by the year 2002, 75% of Internet document viewing will be carried out on these alternate platforms. The XHTML family is designed with general user agent interoperability in mind. Through a new user agent and document profiling mechanism, servers, proxies, and user agents will be able to perform best effort content transformation. Ultimately, it will be possible to develop XHTML-conforming content that is usable by any XHTML-conforming user agent.
I have a better reason. To get this cool bumper sticker on your page!
And I love bumper stickers!
But since I’ve included the headlines from yellowworld.org, I’m no longer compliant!:( Turns out I have to figure out a way to input a stupid & before every “&”…
…
Yeah. I feel like a loser now.
