For instance, is the following XML document considered valid as per the W3C XML 1.0 recommendation? Notice that the namespace 'future' is not referenced anywhere in the document.

Another chapter from the "arguments between myself and the other senior developer" series :P My position is that when doing web development, browser code should be written first and foremost to adhere to the W3C web standards, even though Internet Exploder has the greater market share (anywhere between 51% and 79% depending on who is do...

The CSS3 Specifications are in the main browsers partly implemented and you get very nice results with less code, but there are many reasons not to use CSS3. E.g. not downwardly compatible, probably not similar renderd views on different browsers, etc. So I'm asking myself: Which is the best way to use CSS3 anyway with a option to inter...
I'm trying to get a site to validate as HTML5 on the W3C Markup Validator. When I use the "Validate by URI" option, it generates a ton of errors, but when I copy and paste the HTML into the "Validate by direct input", it validates perfectly. When I run a diff on the two sources returned by the validator, the only differences are the Rail...
