What about evolving standards in a system that must handle clients or servers which implement anything from tomorrows feature today to 10 years prior. Shouldn't failures be as graceful as possible?
- theamk 10mo agoNo, now or 10 years later, syntax error (like unclosed tag or missing quote) is a syntax error. Ignoring it is always a bad idea. Unknown tags / attributes, on the other hand, may be ignored for future compatibility.. but I believe XHTML ignores them already.
