[News] Apple Stands in the Way of Web Standards -- Again

Unacceptable Browser HTTP Accept Headers (Yes, You Safari and Internet
Explorer)

,----[ Quote ]
| Really WebKit? The browsing engine most responsible for killing XHTML prefers 
| XHTML over HTML! It would also prefer PNG over HTML. That's a little 
| embarrassing, but what is worse: Safari and Chrome accept XML over HTML (and, 
| ambiguously, over XHTML, too). WebKit's Accept header forces web developers 
| to work against the HTTP spec.

Apple Wary of Ogg Theora: No Agreement Yet on HTML5 Video Standard 

,----[ Quote ]
| Firefox 3.5 and Chrome already support the new video tag of the HTML5 
| specification. Before it can become a standard, though, more browsers makers 
| have to agree on the codec.

Apple patent claim threatens to block or delay W3C specification

,----[ Quote ]
| Early last month, it became clear that Apple might be causing trouble for the
| W3C Widgets specification. They are unwilling to make patent 5,764,992 (W3C
| information), which covers automatic software upates, royalty-free if the
| Widgets Update specification is found to use anything covered by the patent.
| This basically means a lot of additional work for the Working Group at the
| W3C, and might slow down the process of finalizing the widgets specification.

Apple refusing royalty-free license to widget patent

,----[ Quote ]
| It's a little hard to tell at the moment exactly what claims overlap between
| Apple's patent and the proposed standard, and why Apple is choosing to exert
| its right to contest the royalty-free licensing terms for those claims. An
| Apple representative did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Microsoft: break up HTML 5  

,----[ Quote ]
| The ever-increasing intricacy of the World Wide Web is evidenced by the
| character and scope of the HTML 5 draft specification. Microsoft wants to
| hasten HTML 5’s arrival, but its proposed solution may not sit well with all
| parties.  
|
| In a recent interview, Internet Explorer platform architect Chris Wilson told
| SD Times that more progress could be made with teams working in parallel, and
| he recommended that portions of the HTML 5 specification be broken off and
| assigned to new workgroups.
