The Tyranny of Standards (2000)
- lkrubner 10y agoI am surprised at the abuse that was thrown at Mozilla. This bit in particular: ============= If you haven't heard of the WSP, it is an example of what happens when standards enforcement is left to the masses. This organization's intentions are pure: It's a nonprofit organization of Web developers, designers, and artists who encourage browsers to support standards equally and completely. However, somewhere along the way, the WSP took on the aspect of a holy war, a Web jihad. The WSP's behavior is tantamount to lynch mob justice. After all, there are no gray areas of justice: only black and white, right or wrong. The same can be said of support for the enforcement of standards: A company supports standards 100 percent, or the company is noncompliant and, therefore, evil.
