Tim Berners-Lee is so lame.

<pergamon> casey pointed out to me that when i put the link to that thread on the page i forgot to translate the ampersands, and so it wasn't xhtml1.0 transitional anymore.

now he's complaining that it should instead be xhtml1.0 strict

<hober> The moral corruption of the W3C is made all the more clear by the fact that URLs can no longer be embedded in HTML without being escaped.

<pergamon> that's a very good point.

<hober> i mean

<hober> WHAT THE FUCK

<hober> that is so gay

<pergamon> but, well, there has to be some characters that either aren't allowed in URLs or have to be escaped.

<hober> sure, i agree

<pergamon> it definately sucks though

<hober> whatever happened to "the null character and / are the only forbidden characters?" i miss those days

<hober> of course, it's a side-effect of the corrupt nature of HTML from the get-go that you have to escape just about everything

<hober> &sux;

<pergamon> let me guess... HTML violates some objectivist philosophical point?

<hober> qua qua qua qua qua qua qua
