W3C didn't loose Mozilla over EME. 1) Mozilla is still an active participant in W3C (there are many more things than HTML there) 2) Mozilla supported EME. Maybe reluctantly, but supported it nonetheless.

For HTML and DOM, this is true. There are many more things at the W3C, the most obvious of which is probably CSS. Browsers totally pay attention to what these spec says, and are the dominant participants in producing these specs.

There were serious issues with the way HTML was done at W3C, and this agreement between W3C and the WHATWG is a good thing. However, all W3C specs are developed in the open, nowadays on github, and feedback from anyone anywhere is taken ser

CSS Working group person here. We're trying. Grid (also Flexbox, but mainly grid) should be a large part of the solution, as it significantly reduces the need for divs that are just there for layout purposes. display:content should als

Having to use a specific point release of the compiler to work does not necessarily means later version have a bug. It could also mean that the program is (accidentally) depending on implementation details that are not guaranteed by the lan

For yourself, maybe. If you intend to share the code you write (or use code written by others), then implementation differences start to matter.

W3C decided to publish a final version of the EME specification. W3C is the place where member companies come to write and negotiate the specification for how many web technologies should work. EME is an API for talking to a audio/vide

1) EME doesn't work like that 2) EME has been shipping in all browsers for a while. This hasn't happened.

They are not a W3C member, and do not contribute to standards. So no.

by frivoal 9y ago
That's the wrong question. W3C itself is relatively tiny, and has fairly ordinary (albeit well tuned) software/server infrastructure. Reproducing the legal framework would be more of a pain, but even that could probably be done. B

I believe they want to, but the appeals process is an untested one, and will be evaluated by the same people who made the original decision. Don't get your hopes too high.

How so? The effect of DRM is to prevent the user from doing things that would otherwise be technically possible, such as copying. Once the software has decrypted the media, it can do whatever it wants with it. It is just so designed that wh

I blame the browsers. There's no deep reason you have to introduce a piece of javascript to hide stuff from the browser so that it can load the page normally, and then add back the fonts. If browsers cared about making the web usable f

Everyone has a smartphone, except a handful of old people who have an app-capable high-end feature-phone. Taxis are pretty much everywhere, never had to call for one except when it rains and I want to be picked up at my door.
