According to the post, they got rid of a lot of spans and tables. Sure, they probably could've done that while staying within HTML4/XHTML, but when you're changing things around already, why not stick to the most recent standard?
- ceol 15y agoThey're using JavaScript onmouseover to show spoilers which can be accomplished in straight CSS2. I assume that's for IE compatibility. They're also still using <br/> tags in post comments, but I assume that's because it's easier to write a nl2br converter than to intelligently parse comments with more than two newlines into semantically-correct paragraphs. I would have thought 4chan's thread format perfect to use the new <article>, <header>, and <footer> tags.
