>Would it make sense to sit down and sketch out the six or eight or seventeen primary types of web developers (and users), make a brief stab at identifying their
>needs (perhaps by actually rounding some up and giving them a questionnaire of some sort) or at least guaranteeing that those constitutencies are represented
>here, and then use that to figure out just what are we talking about when we're talking about breaking things?

>For example:
>browser developers (Apple, Microsoft, Mozilla, Opera, etc.)
>corporate sites whose business is primarily internet based (Google, Amazon, EBay, etc.)
>large sites with mission-critical dependence on web (governments, health care, universities)
>web development consultants and companies (those who build pages for other companies)
>stand-alone single authors (faculty, bloggers, wiki-contributors)
>people who are currently in read only mode (the folks who visit web pages)
