before we start worrying about making the web faster, how about organizing a standard for all web browsers to follow?
Maybe when developers no longer have to make 5 different versions of their websites, they'd have the time to optimize them for speed .
- prodigal_erik 17y agoBeing more strict than the standards already are would be horrible. The Web succeeded thanks to the loose coupling between browsers and documents, allowing us to make browsers which behave the way we want instead of merely porting the original browser from TimBL's NeXT. Writing documents which degrade gracefully isn't hard unless you do it backwards (scripted frills before meaningful content).
