@tekhelet Hey, I travel so much, it's nice to have a relatively unobtrusive companion when I'm in my room :)
@iGoByDoc Noes! No kills spiders. They are mostly good. They eat bad bugs. They make WEBS like we do. So you are smushing one of your own :(
Holy arachnid, batman! George the Spider never left at all. I nearly walked into him, he's hanging from his usual spot now. HappyAgainMols
off to find @meyerweb's lost sleep. But selfishly, in the form of a nap all for myself. 404MollyNotFound
@glazou @robinberjon ah, you Frenchmen. Always teasing me for something! Be nice, Daniel - I see you in a few days ;)
@Montgomery well at least he was a proper gentleman and spent the night!

@johubris we'd drink that wine and forget all about the Georges of this world.
@johubris Four Kiwis to compensate for one quiet little George? I comprehend the 8 leg corollary but it ends there. ;)
Still can't find George the Spider. I guess he's left me. I'm gutted, as the Brits say. I liked my little 8 legged pal.

@sharovatov I've talked with Steven Pemberton (W3C XHTML WG) about this and have some of his insights. Will see if I can share them.
@sharovatov I really don't want to be put in the position of XHTML "advocate" - I'm not. I'm a web *standards* advocate. Please understand.
@sharovatov the entire draconian error handling issues. Authors have no feedback mechanism. XML parsers are easier to make.
@sharovatov From XHTML WG's own Steven Pemberton "The world isn't only browsers."
@sharovatov From a programatic perspective, the lax parsing we've had in HTML has led to flaws both in authoring and implementation.
@sharovatov Maybe I should have worded that "strict parsing" - I'm not advocating XHTML use btw. I'm also not not advocating it.
@frumioj George was not on the bottom of my shoe, no. Maybe he found someone more interesting to hang out with?
hmm, haven't seen Spider George since I returned with supplies. Wonder if I accidently stepped on him? :: looks at bottom of shoe ::
@sharovatov HTML is limited, at least at this point in history, in true parsing. We have to deal with huge amounts of error handling, etc.
