So, now that we've had a go at venting about "web designers" who use all our CPU for animations and scripts, and advertisers for pushing wasteful video our way (not just in the browser, but also in unrelated technologies like Skype's native client) - and I'm surprised the old "dark websites use less power on my CRT than bright websites" - the more fundamental question: Why is this being discussed on www-html? Are we proposing some change to HTML that will solve these issues? If we're saying "we'd like a setting in browsers that allows users to suppress animations, scripts running in the background, video/audio content autostarting, etc" then should this kind of request not be directed at individual browser manufacturers? Or is there some new element/meta/HTTP-header we're trying to come up with here? P -- Patrick H.
