I'm not saying HTML5 didn't have its share of architecture astronauting, attempts to add features that didn't pan out, etc. Trust me, I know it did. I'm not saying it didn't spec various things that didn't mat

The markup parts of HTML (e.g. the parsing) are pretty frozen and have been for a while. This is the part that can sort of argue it used to be based on SGML (though now it's not, for various reasons). The "HTML spec" include

TL;DR: It's pretty much like a bomb, yes. How much energy it is depends on the volume change as you compress. If your material is completely incompressible, there is no volume change, no work done as the pressure rises, and therefore

For what it's worth, I distinctly remember that sometime in middle school we had a unit where exactly that happened: we were shown some ads, and there was various discussion about the way ads are created, the tricks they use, etc, etc.

Yes, I am aware. But that's related to how happy Google is with it, not to whether it's standardized in any way.

Things are not "flexible" once they have been shipped on by default, typically. Changing behavior or removing at that point becomes very hard, requiring usage measurements, etc.

It's not "less than 100 ending in 2, 3, 4". It's "2, 3, or 4 mod 10, but not 12, 13, 14 mod 100". So for example "1002" is "few" in this sense (even though it's bigger than 100) but &q
