I hope my comments didn’t offend. I am extremely grateful for your articles on semantic HTML. They’re an excellent resource everyone should read (I printed out all three for easier consumption).

Thanks for your input and for your work on HTML!

I think the Geni of HTML becoming a universal markup language is well and truly out of the bottle, and I doubt it will go back in any time soon. In fact, that was one of the key motivators for my articles.

While in an ideal world, XML plus perfect browsers may well provide the deal solution, I think the last 15 years demonstrate very clearly that the web of HTML and the kind of browsers we have now will be with us for a very long time to come. It’s both more frustrating, but ultimately worthwhile, to think about how we improve that world, well, at least in my opinion ;-)

thanks for the thoughtful comments
