I just saw that the #OpenUI focusgroup proposal is currently under review in the #WHATWG, so... progress? 🤞

Every standard maintained by the #WHATWG is just dripping with smug contempt for the very concept of standardization and best practices, even if you have to read between the lines to see it. Don't even get me started on the Infra Standard's whole "willful violation" bit.
Trying to improve my basic web dev skills, but #WHATWG documentation is one big no good very unhelpful nursery rhyme: "to assign slottables for a slot slot, let slottables be the result of finding slottables for slot. For each slottable of slottables, set slottable's assigned slot to slot."
This took a lot of effort to overcome my perpetual imposter syndrome, but I wanted to make a comment in support of updating XSLT support in browsers. I figure 18 years working with XML and HTML gives me at least some reasonable experience worth sharing. #XSLT #XML #WHATWG […]
Sparkling wok, episode 4 And it's done. It's over. The efforts to write an XSLT stylesheet to generate SVG sparklines , and I mean actual sparklines, from an XML description of the activity...

A meme with a tall, sad-looking stick figure drawn. The figure is on the left, using a long stick to poke at the Firefox browser logo on the bottom right. text in all caps reads: "COME ON, DO A NAVIGATION API THING"
You'd think Google, having launched schema.org, knows how to produce valid schema.org metadata and HTML5.
YouTube: How about a `<span>` inside the head, and `<link rel=alternative>` inside the body?
HTML5 parsers:
Thanks, I'll take that span as your implied end of `<head>`, and raise you an […]
#PHP may be the first language to correctly support #RFC3986 #URI and #WHATWG #URL at the same time if
RFC wiki.php.net/rfc/url_pars... passes.
I created a polyfill which works on PHP8.1+ github.com/bakame-php/a... It will get tagged as stable once the RFC has passed.
Why do I have to make sure NOT to pass any data into the request body when it's a GET or HEAD...
UX wise this shouldn't be something I have to actively think about when executing #golang compiled to #wasm

“The W3C membership resoundly rejected this whole concept. One of the W3C staff even explicitly said something along the lines of "if you want to do this you should do it elsewhere". That's what led to the WHATWG being founded a few weeks later. ”
