To tell you the truth I’m still very confused about these things. For example… why would we still want XHTML and HTML to co-exist? Good HTML code is essentially also valid as XHTML. But who am I to complain about these things…
However… to shed some light on the issue, here’s a nice breakdown of competing approaches to build the new markup language – X/HTML 5 Versus XHTML 2

There must be several good reasons why people visit dog shows but unfortunately, when I go to one, all those reasons seem to fade away and I only see and record a single prominent one. It’s probably similar to pre-teen beauty pageants and events like that where people come to experience a “dream” they couldn’t achieve by themselves.
How else can you explain manic obsessive grooming, trimming and things I can’t even imagine doing to a dog (not that I would even know how)? Or posing their dogs to every camera that gives them half a second of attention?
Can’t they understand I want to shoot dogs the way they are?! Bored, scared, excited, sleepy, hyperactive, confused, whatever…

This seems to be common knowledge everywhere but in our newspapers.
Denis Dunleavy (a professor of visual journalism and reporting) says: “In my newswriting classes I always start off the term asking how many students actually have a subscription to a daily newspaper. For the past few years, if a hand goes up, I get really excited.”
Arthur Sulzberger, owner, chairman and publisher of the NY Times: “I really don’t know whether we’ll be printing the Times in five years, and you know what? I don’t care either.”  via LiLoLe
You can appreciate his position when you learn that NYT has 1.5 million visits online daily and 1.1 million subscribers to the dead trees edition.
But still there are newspapers redesigning, changing formats and doing all sorts of things to keep themselves above the surface. Pointless if you ask me.
They should focus their attention on different ways to distribute content (online is just one option)Â as people are still looking for someone to aggregate content for them. That shouldn’t change in a while.
