<p>Begins with ice coffee from Dunkin Donuts. </p><p>W3C-developed standards aren't better. </p><p>I wanted to say that I was pleased with Brendan Eich's interview with Steve Gillmor.</p><p>This podcast unlike the previous one sounds like stuff I still support, even applaud. </p><p>I talk about how I found something on the Netsape site during the development of RSS saying they don't want to be part of a standards process, they just want to make software. That's where I come from too. </p><p>People who gather around standards often/usually aren't there to make software. So it's no surprise that the standards don't deploy well in actual software.</p><p>Skip ahead to 10 minute mark if you want to hear this stuff. </p><p>At the very end I say I look forward to what's coming in HTML. Well it didn't imho turn out to be what I was hoping for, which I think IIRC was SVG. No doubt it works, but the graphic OS I wanted has never been created on top of SVG as far as I know. </p><p>I mention the marquee element in this episode and I was curious to see if it still works, so I wrote a <a href="http://scripting.com/code/testing/marquee/">test app</a> which you can try too. It does still work in 2024. I hope it works forever. That's how the web should work. Much later I'll write about this in <a href="https://this.how/standards/">Rules for standards-makers</a>. </p>
