@hober: 🧵 Some entirely unoriginal thoughts about the terms "compatibility" and "interoperability" as applied to browsers. 1/1
@hober: "Compatibility" is a corpus question. Do *actual websites work* when loaded in this browser? 2/14
@hober: Sometimes you fix your browser to work with more sites. Sometimes you reach out to web developers to get them to change their sites to work better in your browser. 3/14
@hober: "Interoperability," OTOH, is about how browsers behave: do different browsers behave the same when they load the same content? 4/14
@hober: Compatibility involves lots of debugging of websites in the wild, figuring out what giant piles of minimized JS are trying to do, etc. 5/14
@hober: Whereas interoperability is a three-legged stool whose legs are implementations, specifications, and tests. 6/14
@hober: Sometimes the right thing to do to improve interop is to change your implementation. 7/14
@hober: Sometimes it's to change the spec. 8/14
@hober: And sometimes it turns out that the tests are wrong. 9/14
@hober: Changing one of these things necessarily means followup work on the others. 10/14
@hober: e.g. spec changes require updated tests and implementations to catch up. 11/14
@hober: But it's not a waterfall-like thing where we always change specs first, then tests, than implementations. 12/14
@hober: Now, ultimately, the *purpose* of improving interoperability is to improve compatibility. 13/14
@hober: But sometimes, unintuitively, the right call is to improve interop by *breaking sites*, thus (hopefully temporarily) *worsening* compat. 14/14
@hober: @erynofwales @jennifermarie *gosh*
@hober: @svcx80 That would depend on a number of factors, but there are several possible outcomes: WebKit and the spec both change to match Chrome's behavior; Chrome changes to match the spec's behavior; the spec changes in a way that invalidates both/all implementations, etc. etc.
