HTML’s Time Is Over? Hold On.
David Heller: HTML’s Time is Over. Let’s Move On.
As the web finds users and builders demanding more and more richness, we need to re-evaluate the technology that 99% of it is built on. No matter how sophisticated our back ends get, the front ends seem to remain stagnant. Yes, HTML transformed to XHTML, but that is such a small step and it is a problematic one when we consider the still eminent requirement of multi-browser, multi-platform, multi-device support.
Are users and builders really demanding more richness? Anyways, it’s the users that matter and I don’t hear them screaming for this stuff. And correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t multi-browser, multi-platform, multi-device support the big advantage of using XHTML? The article goes on to make some good points, but this intro paragraph makes no sense.
