Gary thinks harder and better before coffee than I do all day . . . .
A wide-ranging and comprehensive post on the state of whatever it is, how the interweb is becoming an aggregation of walled gardens of publishing systems and feed formats that don’t add as much value as they think they do, nor as much as they think.
I took a much shallower poke at this a couple of days ago.
I keep re-scanning Gary’s post: it flies in the face of so much I’ve read lately, and rightly so. I recall a couple of threads lately where some gurus claimed that XHTML and CSS were as readable as plain text prose. And here we have someone saying “HTML-knowledge as a popular skill must die.” Hallelujah.
A great read. And an even better requirements overview/road map.
