Standard Dunces

I'm cleaning out my naggregator inbox as the first step, in twelve, to stopping this addiction. While I haven't found an aggregator that I'm entirely comfortable with, at least this way I'll be standing on the platform without baggage.

Reading over some of the things I missed from earlier this year, I see that Joe Gregorio pointed out some idiocy over at the W3C. I don't follow the W3C lists, or get into the details of the arguments, but it seems to me that they've made some really bone-headed decisions in extending this web of ours. And this short list is only those things I'm aware of.

• Paragraphs can't contain block-level elements like lists, which pretty much makes it impossible for the meaning to match the structure of the markup.
• URIs should not rot, but we'll change the datatype for fragments to require that they begin with an alphabetic character.
