From Fixing HTML:

HTML needs fixing. The HTML 4 recommendation was published in 1999. Since then, the web has grown from a document retrieval system into an application delivery system. We have made significant progress since then, due to the cleverness of the web development community and the surprising expressive power of JavaScript, but we are at the limits. HTML is no longer a driver of innovation. It is now a serious impediment.

I’ve always favoured HTML 5 over XHTML 2.0, but Douglas Crockford does have an interesting point there, though it could unarguably be labeled as a bit drastic at times.

From The Troubles With OpenID 2.0:

Portland, Oregon’s JanRain, leaders in the OpenID movement, put on a PR push this week to promote what they say is the imminent approval of OpenID 2.0’s final draft. Specifically, they say that they expect the final signatures to be penned on Monday at the upcoming Internet Identity Workshop.

I’m a big OpenID fan myself, but like the article’s author and as much as I want to see the 2.0 specs ratified, I’m not going to hold my breath for next week. I rarely hoped so much to be wrong on a prediction.

The only sad thing about this is the “No Service” at the top-left corner of each screenshot… *sigh*
Soon, soon enough.
