It's a shame that the web/browsers have grown up to be so forgiving of shitty markup that isn't valid.
The experience would be much better for the user if it was all strict, as I suspect things would be faster.
- ivanche 6y agoCongrats, you just reinvented XHTML :)
- krapp 6y agoMost HTML is generated by frameworks now, isn't it? Is there a lot of non-matching HTML in the wild anymore?
- goto11 6y agoHow would it be better for the user if half the web sites didn't work? I don't think it would have any observable effect on speed. As far as I know, the bottleneck is not parsing the the html syntax, it is rendering.
- hinkley 6y agoMosaic tried to be strict. Netscape was more SGML-like and so it was a slow slide as people said, “well it works in Netscape, so it must be a bug”. The early authoring tools also generated pure garbage for markup. So if you weren’t forgiving, you lost users. Pandering works.
