I would imagine the US government would censor videos if people protested the Bush regime and called for , say... New York, to be released from US rule.
The fact is, that you have no idea if the Dalai Lama is a terrorist or not.

Presumably Apple and other makers of HDD/flash based mp3 players will be the next target.
It'll be interesting to see if they lose too.

However, we should all be using xhtml 1.0 strict.
There's a much larger problem here. Namely, that people code crap website.
Now, the sensible thing is to just ignore the crap sites that don't validate.
However, browsers implement grim hacks and workarounds to make it all work. Thus there is no incentive to code decent sites.

Instead, we have priviledges.

The fact that the internet by design makes you anonymous should not be abused.
The point is, abusing the anomymity of the internet to send say, a death threat, in no way makes it ok.
The problem is that people treat the internet as a juvenile playground.
Clearly the best solution is to just stop idiots using the internet.

OOXML has been fully documented for a long time.
It works well and plugins for OO.org already exist for it.
