- marcosdumay 7y agoThey were focused on replacing web development practices. Something that was much needed, but completely uncalled for.
- bzbarsky 7y agoAs someone who was involved in some of the W3C work at the time, it's not clear to what extent they were focused on "security" at all.
- coldtea 7y agoNeither data organization nor security is their role... One belongs to the backend to decide, the other is for HTTP/S-level specs and Javascript, none of which are or should be W3C's concern.
- austincheney 7y agoI use all kinds of defined data structures in my JavaScript applications. Defining such as an interface is one TypeScripts biggest wins. W3C also owns XML and XML Schema which are all about defining data structures on the client side.
