And W3C isn't poised to lead effectively to fix this or even apply back-pressure. +1 to defining some real problems on this thread. Also, I'm interested in hearing people's approaches to finding real solutions: either from the TAG or the AB or on this thread. Here are some examples, elaborating on Larry's post. We've been attempting to fight "complicated and fragile" through modularity. Many of the major workgroups (e.g. CSS, WebApps, even now HTML) are looking to increase modularity in the hope that it leads to clarity. I don't know if we are doing it well enough or if this is even the best approach to fight "complicated and fragile". I invite comments, and especially I invite technical approaches to address the problems. We, like you, have called for increased focus on security [1]. In Wendy's blogposts we talked about work we are doing, workshops we have created, and the need for more focus. Are there specific security issues that need to be addressed? One thing we are definitely focused on is "security reviews". Does anyone have suggestions how to get more community resources focused on security reviews?
