No question about where your link was supposed to go, Fooles, but it looked pretty obvious that you'd intended it to be a link. In what I saw the first "<" and the final "</a>" were all that was missing.

I just pasted what your post showed, added the missing bits, and clicked it in preview to go where you pointed.

My little rant following might not have indicated just how much "sarcastic content" was intended, but is based on my going to the HTML Standards website to try to see what it's all about.

Factually, IMO, there is no HTML5 Standard and what I could find in what the group says is the version currently "distributed for review" is so vaguely written that it is far from ready for adoption.

The separate CSS Group site is so vague (as far as I could tell) about the status of its several versions that I couldn't even find retrievable versions of what might be current "working versions," or identify what affiliates might be responsible for publication when (if) anything actually is produced.

An eNews bulletin received this morning linked to an eWeek (once upon a time a credible technical resource) report on the Microsoft MIX11 Developers Convention where, according to the headlines there was lots of good technical exchange of information.

The HEADLINE:

Just four weeks after the release of Internet Explorer 9, Microsoft unveiled the first platform preview of IE10 at the MIX11 conference in Las Vegas. In his April 12 keynote opening, Dean Hachamovitch, corporate vice president of Internet Explorer, outlined how the next version of Microsoft's Web browser builds on the performance breakthroughs and deep native HTML5 support delivered in IE9. With this investment, Microsoft is leading the adoption of HTML5 with a long-term commitment to the standards process, Hachamovitch said.

What followed in the "report" was a slideshow of 26 rather quaint pictures of Microsoft executives and screen shots of games. The only thing resembling "technical content" I could identify was at the mention of a new ap called "mango" for which they displayed a picture of the fruit - which might be considered "information" for someone who never ate one.

Toys for children, built by children, on a foundation of BULLSHIT and wet dreams?.

(Maybe I'm just too old for it all.)
