Content-Encoding versus Transfer-Encoding

Today I discovered a “problem” where Apache’s mod_deflate changes a resource’s ETag value from “foo” to "foo"-gzip when compressing the representation. This problem has been a while in coming , and after some research I’m convinced that Apache’s...

W3C HTML 5 Conformance Checker

Actually, doctype with an internal subset (like the one you describe in your email) will likely work in an XML context, and should be considered valid XHTML5.  I’m pretty confident that Henri would accept a bug report on this if it does not work on his validator page.

Sam, thanks - that’s what I suspected.

Ok, I wonder if it was worth the 10 minutes it took to write up the email?

W3C HTML 5 Conformance Checker

You get five.  And like it.

Perhaps this will help explain the situation with HTML5. 

Last time I checked, the others don’t work in application/xhtml+xml on Opera anyway.  And nothing in the XML specification requires that they do work.  I stopped using them years ago.

Wait, now it looks like Opera does support them ... in 7.5.

With my new blog, I think I’ll go with utf-8.

W3C HTML 5 Conformance Checker

Ok, what about my XML entities?

Posted by Jeff Schiller

W3C HTML 5 Conformance Checker

The doctype for HTML5 (and XHTML5) is

<!DOCTYPE html>

The validator handles both HTML5 and XHTML5.

W3C HTML 5 Conformance Checker

Confused now.  I guess “HTML5 Experimental” is only for text/html?  What’s the option for XHTML5?  What DOCTYPE do I need to give for that - and can I add those entities?

It only is the form that is broken.  You can check your blog by modifying the URI, thus.

better than json

Well, JSON is the new hotness . This week. Again. Thought I’d jot down some thoughts I had on JSON last summer, in the area of improving on JSON. Before doing that, let me go over some of my core beliefs about JSON: It defines an ASCII...

Unobtrusive OpenID

Hey. Just testing.
I think this openid stuff is really cool.  Thanks also for your other post about delegation - i found it very helpful in setting mine up.  In that post, you list an example for delegation using one specific provider, myopenid, but in order to find out what url to use for other providers, i had to look at people’s test comments on this post, and see who it showed their provider as.  I am wondering if you or anyone else has compiled or is thinking of compiling a chart or something showing how to set up delegation for several different providers. Just a thought. Thanks, Joe.

Wii Fit Update

I found the same thing.  The daily weighting, tracking and charting really keeps your current trending in the forefront of your thoughts.  I’m up a bit...nah I’ll pass on dessert for example.

I guess it goes back to that adage, “You can’t manage what you don’t measure”.
