“I don’t believe that a bohemian HTML5 interpretation is similar-to-but-better than strict XHTML for exactly the same reason that I don’t believe that an optional ordering of amino acids in my DNA chain will somehow not affect my personality.”From “Wired Earp” in a comment at HTML5 Doctor, a resource that Nic pointed out to us at a recent training session. Funny quote that I mostly understand on the topic of loosened standards for required tags, closing of tags, etc. in HTML5.
Great session, by the way, Nic.
