    For a while Firefox had tabbed browsing, nice plugins and stability going for it
    It still has tabbed browsing, nice extensions, and stability.
    has had issues with insecure plugins
    Which is not at all the fault of Firefox. That's like blaiming your operating system for the problems of some random executable from the internet.
    rolling bug fixes that involve a reinstall rather than a simple update
    Firefox 1.5 will change that, it's working great already on nightlies. And fixes are actually released, unlike with Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    has become as bloated and heavy as what it tried to replace
    That's completely untrue, you're just making shit up. It is only getting faster. Perhaps if you didn't pile thounsands of extensions on, you wouldn't think this.
    I would not be surprised if market share declined now as people forget all about it.
    Unless someone only uses a web browser once a month, they're not going to leave Firefox just because they forgot about it.
    But Firefox's innovation has slid, though the Lightning project may just boost it along again.
    The Lightning project has nothing to do with Firefox. Maybe you're thinking of the plan to run both Thunderbird and Firefox with XULRunner.

    Not really. Domain names ending in . are Fully Qualified Domain Names. If they don't end in ., the resolver should try your search list before falling back to the root domains.
    So are you saying that it's possible to have a site like "name." instead of "name.com"? That seems pretty interesting; I've never heard anything like this before. Got a link or something?

    I'm the same way. I see some people here talking about fast backtracking helping a lot with message boards, but I just open 10 or so tabs at a time and close them as I read them. In my opinion, it's much better than going back over and over and over again.

    The point is that your content is ready for the future
    Ok, but if you're not going to send it as XHTML (yet), why not convert it into HTML before sending it? It's not difficult.
    it is easier to start authoring in XHTML, than it would be to put off authoring in XHTML until later and then converting all of the HTML to XHTML.
    Ok, I'll agree with you here, but it's really not that difficult. Still a little bit easier though than converting HTML into XHTML.
  19. Re:XHTML on Help Beta Test Slashdot CSS · · Score: 1
    but the markup is XHTML
    What's your point? Broken HTML that would qualify as XHTML if were sent as such is better than correct HTML?
    the WHATWG's Web Applications 1.0 is not HTML 5.0
    They want it to be, and it may eventually be. See the section on DOM Feature strings. In one place, they even refer to Web Applications 1.0 as HTML 5 several times. In any case, my point was that there are still people interested in HTML and that it is nowhere near dead.
    But it's a whole lot easier if you code XHTML now. There's no denying that.
    I deny that. It's just as easy to code valid HTML as it is to code valid XHTML.

    For me, working with XHTML and HTML has been the same for the most part. When a browser supports XHTML 2.0, I'll use it (whether that's horribly stupid or not) and then translating from XHTML to HTML and back may not be so easy, but for now I can do it without any trouble at all.

    which renders just fine in IE by the way
    No it doesn't. IE can only render it as styled XML (no links, etc) or tag soup unless it uses XSLT to translate it into HTML. Don't blatantly lie.
    an older standard which has no future
    Ever heard of a thing called HTML 5? It's in the works whether you believe it is or not.
    See how much work it is for you in "8-10 years" to convert all of your HTML content to XHTML
    If you're coding valid HTML now, it's easy as pie.
    There are other lesser benefits as well.
