What massively popular media distribution channel that is a household word and everyone wants to use did microsoft try to use to force useful features into browsers? I am not seeing the correlation here.
It does not pollute css style classes with semantic meaning. Instead it uses a separate role attribute that is more flexible and retains separation of concerns.
It uses xml events and DOM.
Strictness, I see it as a virtue, some don't (sometimes for valid reasons, sometimes not).
Continuing the trend of separating of document structure from style.
There is more but I got some work in that I need to deal with.
On the contrary, in a world where 99% of everything is broken, strictness really is a virtue. Strictness allows people to realize what isn't broken in an endless morass of crippled partial implementations. Eventually, things can be fixed. Computers and the internet do not have to be something for which everyone has resigned to being broken.
"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not only because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

I am just pissed off that no one seems to want xhtml2. It is generally better than html5 in most ways, though it could use a few minor features from html5.
I don't think you understand what I am saying. With these semantic style classes, meaning is applied to the meaningless. Style classes are for style, not meaning. It also applies markup tags, tags are defining the structure of a document, not its meaning.
what does the style "copyright error" mean? In HTML5 it means that section is the copyright notice section for your page, it is also an error display area, even though it may be intended to style an article on inadvertent copyright infringement.
examples? the copyright, error, example, issue, note, search, and warning style class is defined to have specific semantic meaning in html5. The time, meter and output tags act similarly with a few differences. Completely over ridding developer control. With xhtml2 the role attribute has more flexibility without breaking separation of concerns.
How does SVG handle sprite graphics? Far better than canvas does. To move a sprite, you can transform its position, with a canvas you have to re-composite the image. The sprite itself can be a traditional bit-mapped image if desired.
Pixel art editing is somewhat possible. Canvas can generate a bitmap of the output, but SVG can not without and external converter. As you add pixels (really rectangles in the DOM of the svg) you dramatically explode the size of the DOM tree causing performance issues. With good partitioning algorithms, this can be partially mitigated by combining adjacent like pixels into single DOM objects.
No web browser ever supported xhtml2, but then the only after the xhtml2 spec was shelved did browsers start to roll out any significant support for html5 either.
1: XForms are a huge improvement over traditional html forms with contol over view, validation and data.
2: The standardization on xml events and DOM. This is a huge issue. If you have ever done any serious work in AJAX web apps, you will know that there are IE uses a different DOM structure than everything else. This means they you have to: A: know all the idiosyncratic differences and how to identify and code around them. B: test everything with rediculous thoroughness and apply hackish patches to get things working. C: use a bloated standardization library (prototype, jquery, dojo, etc).
3: xhtml2 is a host language allowing you to embed other xml language elements within. You can include MathML, SVG, etc with the appropriate namespaces.
4: seperation of symantics from styling. Html5 has predefined css styles and tags used to define symantic meaning in a haphazard fashion. Xhtml2 uses the role attribute to define symantic meaning in a single, clear and consistant way without interfering in document structure markup or styling.
5: real errors. Invalid documents are invalid and produce an error instead of allowing the browser to randomly attempt to guess the correct fix for bad code. This will make developing consistant and valid documents easier as the author will be able to catch invalid documents during development.
Canvas is not needed. You can create dynamic, animated graphics using the existing SVG standard.
And yes, html5 brings back the integration of style and content.
It is defined to maintain backwards compatibility by keeping some elements that are counter to the philosophy of html and yet fails to preserve the definition and presence of those elements. It is even halfassed at meeting its stated goals.
Html5 spec does not specify a single DOM structure, unlike html2, this means that IE is going to continue to require hackish work around for cross platform js.
Html5 may not be total crap compared to html4, but compared to the competing and now defunct standard xhtml2? It is utter irredeemable crap.
He said "just indirectly", indicating he was probably referring to the common use of java in some form on the backend. Many web servers are written in java, then there are the web apps using jsp, servlets or cacoon and several other java based web app frameworks.
The moon does not orbit the earth, nor the sun. The earth doesn't orbit the sun for that matter.
The earth/moon system orbits its barycenter and that barycenter, the sun and barycenter of the other planet systems orbit the combined barycenter of the solar system.
I am technically correct, and that is the best type of correct.
As a software developer, copyright helps protect my work, 2 years really wouldn't be long enough IMO.
I do however believe that the modern term is insane and defeats the purpose of copyright. The purpose of copyright is to enrich the public domain. Its means of achieving that goal is granting a TEMPORARY restriction on the right to copy except by permission of the author. The media multi-nationals lobbying to extend copyright in perpetuity seem to have forgotten that.
Personally, I am in favor of 10 to 20 years. Though I could see less than 10 if a single extension is allowed and that extension came at a substantial fee payed to the copyright office.
VM's are not that good at accessing hardware accelerated graphics. I keep windows around mostly for playing the occasional video game, that does not tend to work all that well in a vm.

It is perfectly legal to format shift media. Perhaps he just prefers the flip-book format his is video needs.
Does gimp have a normal ui yet? I have not tried it in a while.

Bandwidth problems mostly go away if multicast or peer to peer video becomes viable.
1: totally agree with you here. There are javascript workarounds, but it isn't nearly as clean of a solutuon.
2: images used for styling do not need to be included in tags, they can be loaded from the stylesheet.
Vastly better forms (XForms).

It infects bacteria.
Like a canine virus infects dogs.
You mean like flash? no. Binary streams no not make sense in the human readable document format that is the web.

iOS Xi, pronounced "zee". Because it is more pretentious that way.

They are distinctly not responsible for capacitive multi-touch displays. They took that from someone else, like all their other "innovations".
