This article examines the future of HTML and what it will mean to Web authors, browser and developers. It covers the incremental approach embodied by the WHATWG specifications and the radical cleanup of XHTML proposed by the W3C. Additionally, the author gives an overview of the W3C's new Rich Client Activity."

    Why would you even bother with flashblock?

    Hint: you don't need Flash to be installed in the first place.
    When I ask people what they would want Flash for, they hardly mention anything than Homestar Runner, a silly page stuffed with bad jokes. The only thing that was actually appealing to me there was 'Peasant Quest' (a parody of ancient Sierra games).
    Now, that was the best Flash-using site. Tell me again, if that's the best, why would anyone care about things worse than that?
