Ask Håkon About CSS or...?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday June 20, 2006 @05:31AM from the partly-to-blame-for-web-2.0 dept.

Back in 1994, while working for the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Håkon Wium Lie (pronounced more or less "how come") proposed the idea of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Got a CSS question? An Ajax question? Want to know why Håkon loves Free Software so much? Or something else, related or not? Go ahead and ask -- after checking some of the links above, so you don't duplicate questions he's answered in other interviews or in articles he's written. (One question per post, please.) We hope to post his answers Friday.

With every release of Opera, it seems that more and more standards/specifications are supported. How valuable is a standard when it isn't supported by 100% (or even 50%) of the browsers, and how frustrating is it to write a specification knowing that you're at the browser vendors' mercy?
