19:05:51 <sbp> well if we own the country we can deport them
19:06:03 <sbp> bonus: would lower the crime rate
19:06:07 <sbp> and create jobs!
19:06:34 <[bjoern]> Well that's a popular sport in the country here, but not too popular with our environment.
19:06:52 <sbp> but a country with only women would have a great environment
19:06:59 <sbp> they'd clean it and keep it neat and tidy (or else)
19:07:16 <sbp> so even from that point of view this is an excellent idea

22:09:51 <Arnia> Whilst I sometimes disagree with how Shelley goes about trying to argue this, I do agree that HTML5 needs a good extensibility mechanism
22:10:25 <[bjoern]> What don't you like about submitting a plea for feature inclusion to Google?
22:10:59 <Arnia> and I would love to see RDFa supported, if only because sometimes code in your page sometimes needs to access data in that page (I have about four problems right now that need a good solution to this; RDFa would be great)
22:12:20 <Arnia> [bjoern]: I love tying my business prospects thoroughly to the whims of a large company whose interests are best served by not allowing me to solve my problem
22:13:00 <[bjoern]> Excellent, so "HTML5" does have the desired mechanism.
22:14:58 <Arnia> I can't believe that the specification document has reached 4MB in size
22:15:23 <[bjoern]> They trimmed it?
22:15:59 <Arnia> I guess it takes a lot of text to define the entirety of the web architecture and browser implementation
22:16:31 <[bjoern]> Interesting thing is that it is shorter than an implementation of it.
22:18:07 <Arnia> After all, spec'ing 2D and 3D immediate mode bitmap graphics, 2D retained mode vector graphics, a threading mechanism for another language, a markup language for mathematics, an entirely brand new metadata mechanism (which cannot be used outside HTML5 yet, if ever), client-side SQL databases, session storage, etc. is tough
22:18:28 <Arnia> Good they're doing it in one single document. After all, it isn't like things such as accessibility need much space
22:19:11 <[bjoern]> Next you'll complain how the document is difficult to read for normal authors.
22:19:51 <Arnia> Oh I find it particularly easy to read. It is written in an obscure dialect of Etruscan right?
22:21:48 <[bjoern]> What I do know is that it is not in Mooring.
22:28:02 <Arnia> I'm trying hard to be optimistic, I mean finally IE is catching up with WebKit and Gecko... but it is frustrating to develop a long term (or even medium term) strategy when the latest version of the basic specification for web browsers is so awful
