I think those are valid points for the current state of things.
But from my perspective, where things started breaking apart was with the advent of html5, when sloppy html really became the accepted norm.
Parsing xhtml wouldn't have been a problem, and I'm sure we'd eventually found out a better "skinning" language to use than xslt over the server's response.
I am still yet to come across a real HATEOS implementation in real life, and probably the chances are smaller by the day. It has this nice theoretical purity but I don't know yet if it's worth the complexity.

- detaro 5y agoHTML5 standardized what you get from "sloppy" HTML, so is more an improvement over the before status where each parser did its own thing with not-perfect HTML.
