AaronSw: On now. Looks pretty good.
AaronSw: "I'm in Boston for the W3C's annual meeting and I'm seeing they're not doing things in line with [these principles of semantics]." (loosely paraphrased)
AaronSw: "I made a bet that computers we buy in 50 years will be able to display HTML" (ditto)
AaronSw: He refers to invalid HTML as "street HTML".
AaronSw: [on wireless browsers] "This is an area where Microsoft doesn't have a monopoly and there's still a chance for others to do the right thing."
AaronSw: "I see XML as a threat [to the future of the Web] [...] I see companies like Microsoft really using XML to push their own proprietary stuff. XML is this thin layer of syntax at the bottom but on top of that they put all these proprietary elements that nobody knows what they are." (Shows PowerPoint XML as an example.)
AaronSw: "If you want to publish documents that are going to last 50 years, you should not use JavaScript."
AaronSw: "I don't think we'll have the capacity though to market an [HTML] editor." However, they've made a deal with macromedia to bundle with their editor.
AaronSw: "On a printer, one pixel means 8 pixels. So [px in CSS] is a semi-scalable unit." - huh?
deltab: Pixel units are relative

AaronSw: "In its continuing effort to make the Web more intelligent, the medium's leading standards group has published a series of drafts relevant to its Semantic Web activity. But don't call it artificial intelligence."
AaronSw: "It's not artificial, and it's not intelligent," said Eric Miller, activity lead for the W3C's Semantic Web Activity.

danb_lap: ...semantically.
GabeW: Michael Jackson screams "Its either RDF/XML or the baby!!!"
bijan: What's the meaning of this?
JibberJim: or on video if you're interested.

danbri: Interesting peek at RDF-in-the-wild, and the problems folk have with wellforming their XML and RDF.
danbri: Note that some files were HTML, so failed RDF parsing is unsuprising. Most errors are w.r.t. unqualified use of about/id/resource (note that RDF/XML now tolerates this).
mortenf: Apparently the parser has problems with UTF-8, even when it's OK.
dajobe: note the RDF validator is out of date with recent RDF/XML changes

eddieviscosity: check typo. shouldn't "with input from Dan Connolly at al." read as "with input from Dan Connolly, et al."?
