Blinkered Programmers.
Reading through a thread on rss feed aggregator security,recently, hammered in how narrow people’s perspective can be when it comes to programming techologies:
If all you’ve got is Perl, every problem will look like a regular expression.
Needless to say nobody suggested using html tidy to generate valid and well-formed xhtml and then an xslt stylesheet to transform the document into xhtml sans all the insecure attributes and elements.
But, of course, XHTML is the spawn of the devil, a format with no future. HTML 4 and tag soup is good enough.
Bit grumpy today. Please ignore.
Tell us...
