In regards to @divya's article, the main sticking point seems to be that using a <div> instead of using more explicit semantics is wrong. >>

I will write the most boring book ever. "The Semantics of Semantics: How to Talk About The World Wide Web" YOU will all read it. SezMols.

To clarify, it's not that a database-driven Web was desired, @edaross, but that the Web included a "gateway" to already existing databases.
The moment we hard code the Web, there will be no more Web.

@johnfoliot I'm looking at the overarching message of flexibility - which I think is really the more important one right now @divya

@johnfoliot ARIA is not HTML, John :: ducks and runs away quickly :: - seriously, I do agree with you, particularly with HTML5 forms.

What I take as the core of @divya's piece is: flexibility is critical, adaptation to environment essential, we can't remain fixed on ideas.

Let me rephrase. Historically, semantics in HTML have been arbitrary, especially when compared with XML/SemWeb. @johnfoliot @divya

@brucel @divya Silly as it seems, it was the semantics of the article that caused confusion. Stronger title, clearer thesis would help.
Replying to @brucel
@brucel I don't disagree with @divya's ideas. But using the word "semantics" is clouding the real heart of what I believe the thesis to be.
@Step_Quick It was a dream, but it is also what I would probably have done in real life ;)

@vick08 You were there Victor? I should have come out that night after all, I just know that @johnfoliot plus @chaals plus me is trouble!

> @divya sense. Semantics are very arbitrary in HTML. You raise a far more important issue: We must learn the art of adaptation and change.

@johnfoliot @rscwer @chaals @vick08 I saw the picture, remember John? I think it snuck into my dream somehow LOL!
I just dreamt I was leaving an event and someone said "Mols wait! Don't you want to see Mark Zuckerburg" and I said "why?" and then woke up.
