Heh, give it a year or so, and Emacs will be a complete operating system. I am sure that by now, there's a spreadsheet system for Emacs, and Tetris for Emacs, and even a Z-Machine emulator for the thing! It's amazing... Emacs is like Lego, you are limited by your mind only (well, with Lego, you are limited by what bricks you have too, but that's besides the point). All hail Emacs! (=
I still believe that completely optimizing the code is better. The more time shaved, the faster it runs... And even if you can't detect any increase in speed, it's still faster.
That actually seems like a really smart and good idea. Anyone can use this on their own sites without any problems (legally or otherwise) or is it protected by you or someone else? Because I think this is a good idea for my site(s) too.
So how do we know what part of the program is the 10% that should be optimized? In my opinion, it should not be just one part, but all of the program. Optimizations almost invariably bring an improvment in speed, whether we can notice it or not. Imagine running 50 instances of an unoptimized program (or 50 different unoptimized programs). Now, imagine that they are partially optimized. Some speed increase, maybe a second or so. Complete optimization? Maybe five or six seconds. That's the goal. And even though that's not much time lost, imagine the amount of time wasted a 9-5 day by an office of 100 people. That's a lot of lost productivity. So if anyone will complain about optimizing, they should go the whole way, and not be halfhearted by only doing 10%.
XHTML, as far as I know, is the HTML 4.x DTDs redone in XML. I have heard that there is to be no HTML 5, that XHTML 2 will cover it. So, I guess it's high time to start learning XHTML... Anyways, with XHTML, isn't it possible to make extensions to it that any XHTML ready browser can handle?
That the HTML is clean, and that the scripts work without any unwanted side effects. Compiled stuff does help speed, but I prefer scripts, because it's much easier to modify. It's faster for development, anyways. It's edit and check for scripts, instead of edit, compile, check for compiled stuff.
I agree with your view, but how do we stop it? There's AOL, uniform with spam, bad behavior, and it's brainwashing of the unwashed masses, then there are us... without our own platform, each with our own opposing views. How do we fight like that? We're currently outgunned... But we must fight to the last man, the last computer, the last phone line, cable, everything. Each of us "guerrilas" must unite and form an organized resistance. On IRC, every channel can ban anything *!*@*.aol.* I have my e-mail program delete any message I get from AOL. I pay $10/mo. for 33 hours to keep away from AOL. I preach to everyone to avoid AOL. I break AOL CDs by microwaving, snapping, throwing off bridges. But one man is not enough. Join us. Fight for the cause. This is your call to arms, people, and we must fight. They can take our lives, but they can't take our ISPs!

That article states that AOL is near-Microsoftian

But IMHO, AOL is past that. It's more post-Microsoftian. And unless something is done, the internet will be crushed under the weight of this evil behemoth. I think something should be done, such as a breakup of AOL into a number of competetors, with at least two competing post-AOL companies in each area.

WYSIWYG editors still control what the markup is going to be. It's still better just doing the work in something like Emacs or another text editor.
