  266. # [14:49] <Philip`> There's <iframe> which lets you include an external file (and <iframe seamless> in HTML5, to make its size adjust automatically to fit its content), but I'm not sure that'd work here
  267. # [14:49] <Hish> no. must be in the same DOM.
  268. # [14:50] <Hish> I mean, it's ok to do the javascript clone. I just saw this template attribute in html5 and I was thinking that'll do the job. but maybe this tag is also removed or meant in another way.

  314. # [16:59] <Philip`> Hish: You are partly wrong - IE parses unknown tags as empty elements (so <foo>bar</foo> is an empty FOO element, then "bar" text, then an empty /FOO element)

  397. # [22:59] <takkaria> all depends on your ontology, really
  398. # [23:00] <Philip`> Why is it that the word "ontology" has always filled me with loathing, even before I had any idea at all what it meant?
  399. # [23:00] <takkaria> me too, actually
  400. # [23:00] <takkaria> I guess "definitions" is equally as good a word
  401. # [23:01] <Philip`> Whenever someone says "I'm working on developing ontologies", I think "aaargh! run away!" despite having no understanding that would rationally justify that response
  402. # [23:01] <takkaria> I think my distrust of the word came from seeing it used by people who talked about RDF

  404. # [23:02] <takkaria> but being on a philosophy degree, it just becomes part of everyday language use
  405. # [23:07] <Philip`> Why do people always talk about the semantics of markup, and seem to ignore that nearly all of the semantics of a document comes from its natural language textual content?
  406. # [23:07] <Philip`> (Am I just misunderstanding what people mean by "semantics"?)
  407. # [23:08] <takkaria> I think that people misunderstand what "semantics" means, given that people use the phrase "semantic meaning"
  408. # [23:09] <takkaria> I like to read "meaning" where other people "semantics" when it comes to HTML, so I always read it as "meaning meaning", which is a sure sign someone's not thinking clearly
