@mollydotcom backwards compatible = content is accessible even on an old old machine. Probably need to think broader than web dev though.

@eyesofjeremy Web principles specifically encourage content accessible. What specifically do you mean re "broader than web dev" - curious!

@mollydotcom fridges talking to robots talking to Apple IIes. Impossible crap. I'd settle for InDesign versions to talk to each other :)

@eyesofjeremy aka version compatibility and open data. Makes absolute sense, but the rest of the universe apparently doesn't agree with us!

@mollydotcom that's also just me always sure I'm missing something. Re open data etc. it also would appear to be freaking hard.
