How Sir Tim Berners-Lee cut the Gordian Knot of HTML5
,----[ Quote ]
| Simon St Laurent wrote, over at O'Reilly,
| about "the widening HTML5 chasm". (He's a
| former worker on the World Wide Web Consortium
| (aka W3C), where Berners-Lee has of course
| toiled for longer than one would have thought
| humanly possible.) He reckoned that discordant
| interests would leave HTML5 damaged and its
| credibility weakened.
|
| And then the Free Software Foundation urged
| Google to kill Flash by open-sourcing its
| video codecs and pushing them out to YouTube
| users - meaning "The world would have a new
| free format unencumbered by software patents."
