My HTML5-related software development activities include originating Validator.nu, writing the HTML5 parser that it uses, porting the parser into Firefox and writing other related code in Firefox around the parser & DOM area. In the past, I've been known to criticize prefix-based indirection and the way RDFa interacts with the DOM and HTML parsing. I worry about long-term effects of complexity added to the Open Web Platform--both in terms of complexity for implementors and complexity for Web authors. I've been designated as the code reviewer for the implementation of the Microdata API in Firefox. I'm a metadata skeptic. (I believe metadata exists but I tend to doubt its cost/benefit characteristics.) Disclosure: I'm contracting for Mozilla. Disclaimer: I'm speaking my mind--not official Mozilla positions, so you shouldn't take what I say as statements from Mozilla. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
