  22. # [05:20] <shepazu> anne: I wasn't praising XML parsers over HTML parsers...
  23. # [05:21] <shepazu> Dashiva: what makes you think I don't like error correction?
  24. # [05:22] <Dashiva> I didn't say that?
  25. # [05:23] <Dashiva> Just that without the assumption that case sensitivity is correct, there's no reason why casing should be a mistake to begin with
  26. # [05:24] <shepazu> case folding is not as easy for those who don't have case folding in their language
  27. # [05:26] <shepazu> not that that's an argument against it...
  28. # [05:26] <Dashiva> That's true, XML in general gets other benefits
  29. # [05:27] <Dashiva> And if all element names were lowercase, you wouldn't have to guess either
  30. # [05:28] <shepazu> because of the case-folding quasi-solution of HTML5, it's limited to known languages, or those where all element/attribute names are lower case, which is not a feature
  31. # [05:30] <Dashiva> It pretends languages from shooting themselves in the foot with mixed case names
  32. # [05:30] <shepazu> lol... nice doublethink
  33. # [05:30] <shepazu> restriction is freedom!
  34. # [05:31] <Dashiva> Mixed case introduces the chance of getting the casing wrong, an error source that doesn't exist with lowercase only (or case insensitivity)
  35. # [05:31] <Dashiva> Is that a freedom you want?
  36. # [05:32] <shepazu> it is if the language already exists
  37. # [05:32] <Hixie> case sensitivity is a bucket of annoying worms that would have been much better left never opened, imho
  38. # [05:32] <Hixie> but it's about 19 years too late to worry about that
  39. # [05:32] <Hixie> in the case of html
  40. # [05:33] <Dashiva> shepazu: Would you introduce it in a new language?
  41. # [05:33] <Hixie> (case insensitivity, i mean)
  42. # [05:34] <shepazu> Dashiva: probably not
  43. # [05:34] <Hixie> (as in, being case sensitive and not doing case folding is far better)
  44. # [05:34] <shepazu> but I'm really lazy, so I don't like to press the shift key :)
  45. # [05:34] <Dashiva> An excellent attitude :)

  60. # [10:52] <anne> You did say: "HTML uses a much more complicated parsing that defines error recovery behavior for things like missing quotes around the attribute values, case insensitivity, and non-well-formed markup, ..."
  61. # [10:52] <anne> Having implemented both an XML and HTML parser, I tend to disagree that one is more complicated than the other
  62. # [10:54] <anne> For instance, when an HTML parser does "error correction" an XML parser still needs to have the exact same state to discover the error, but it has to report it instead. Whether after you detect you report or proceed is about the same complexity wise.
  63. # [10:54] <jgraham> anne: arguably HTML parsing is more complex to understand than XML parsing. But I think what people really mean is that XML parsing if you ignore the little used features that cause 90% of the difficulty is easier to understand than HTML parsing considering all the features
  64. # [10:54] <jgraham> e.g. if you dumped DTDs
  65. # [10:55] <jgraham> then XML would be much more usable
  66. # [10:55] <jgraham> (but still not sutiable for the web obviously)

  68. # [10:56] <jgraham> s/usable/easy to parse/
  69. # [10:56] <anne> If XML is allowed to dump DTDs for the sake of argument I'd like to dump a whole lot of complexity from HTML parsers as well for argument sake; otherwise it's an unfair comparison
  70. # [10:56] <jgraham> Sure.
  71. # [10:57] <jgraham> (This is hy is would be nice if there was some transitional path to a format that had non fatal errors, no DTDs and less weird edge cases than HTML)
  72. # [10:58] <anne> (I have a proposal for exactly that.)
  73. # [10:59] <jgraham> (Right, coming up with the format isn't the hrad bit, it's the transitional path that's the hard bit)
  74. # [10:59] <jgraham> *hard
  75. # [11:01] <anne> It's fully backwards compatible
