Your site navigation features are provided by RDF Site Summary <http://web.resource.org/rss/1.0/spec> which is currently implemented in Mozilla. As for page elements like headers and navigation bars, these can currently be modularised by using Server Side Includes or a more powerful preprocessing language (PHP is a popular choice) or IFRAMEs* -- however doing it properly will require fully processed generated styles (eg: the content attrib) as are planned for CSS3. It seems to me that future UAs should pay much more attention to available RSS feeds when rendering flat pages. For example: we recently had a debate on this list over putting the title of a *site* in the TITLE element for each page. This crude hack could be avoided if browsers looked up the name of the site and then consulted a site-wide style for how to incorporate it into their titlebars. ~ Jared Warren <warren@cs.queensu.ca> Computing Science, Queen's University * Or ECMAScript -- but don't!Received on Friday, 28 February 2003 18:28:59 GMT
