So we should ditch decades of work and switch to less efficient formats and accept the enormous aggregate performance hit and lose hard won security and interop benefits?
Brilliant!
- breck 13y agoI'm saying let's throw them all away starting today. We'll turn off the internet for a while but when we switch it back on it will be way better. :) Kidding of course. Despite my optimism for this, I'm a pragmatist. It would take many years to switch, and would be a gradual process. I have just seen time and again how if you make things simpler, more natural, you reap drastic rewards. Look at the introduction of touch interfaces. Hundreds of millions of people are now using more powerful computers than most of us owned just a few years ago. I believe there's a huge pent up demand for people who want to get their hands on the DNS layer of the Internet, and simplifying the protocols would be one big step toward allowing that to happen.
