Trouble Brewing at the W3C?

An anonymous reader writes "A breakaway faction of the World Wide Web consortium (W3C) called WHAT-WG, or the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group--which includes Apple, the Mozilla Foundation and Opera--is threatening to revolt over electronic forms standards. WHAT-WG has announced its intention to submit the draft to the W3C, posing the potentially awkward possibility of the consortium advocating two conflicting avenues for Web forms. The fate of a standard could also determine whether the order form could be accessed in any standards-compliant Web browser, or if it would be available only to users of a particular operating system--an outcome that has browser makers and others worried about the role of Microsoft."

w3c sucks

some crap from the w3c:

• Don't use that <font>... you can do it in CSS and it only takes 3 times as much code!
  
• All tags must be terminated explicitly. Because it happens so often that you need to nest a <td> directly within another <td>, with nothing between them.
  
• CSS can do any styling you want! Unless you want a centered div that's only as wide as a content... or a full-height sidebar... then you're just screwed. (hint: use tables instead)
  
• <input checked="checked">. 'Nuff said.
  

hopefully WHAT-WG actually has somewhat of a clue when it comes to designing stuff.

You are a loser. I'll leave you to work out why.
