- jrochkind1 7y agoIf I understand right, you are suggesting it is "against the spirit of HTML" to write CSS that isn't backwards compatible... infinitely? You have to draw the line somewhere, right? An ancient enough browser won't support CSS at all. Using only CSS that would be supported by a, say, year 2005 browser would also be pretty limiting. You can choose to do that if you want, but I think your opinion about the "spirit" is a minority one.
- CamperBob2 7y agoThat ship sailed the day people first started using HTML for page layout in general. The spirit of HTML was not adequate to meet requirements, so the spirit has been upgraded. Pray all you want, it's going to be upgraded further.
