Is HTML 5 More Semantic? on iface thoughts — Sat, 13 Jan 2007 12:34:01 +0000

[...] This is very interesting, it seems HTML 5 is acknowledging the Semantic Web, which was done using the divs. I think eventually usage of div will reduce, I am not sure if it can be completely eliminated. This can strong impact choosing HTML or XHTML for your web site. I am not sure if these elements will be built into the XHTML versions too. If not would HTML 5 be considered more semantic? I wonder if these things will be addressed in the specification being worked upon. [...]

I got introduced to What You See Is What You Mean (WYSIWYM) through Peter Krantz. The difference can be expressed in one word – semantics – but makes a world of difference! [...]

First Markup Then Style on iface thoughts — Sun, 26 Nov 2006 05:05:33 +0000

[...] I always insist of developing the markup, in fact semantic markup, before it is styled. The basic reason is that content is still the king and the markup structures the content. Markup is what the search engines see. It is important enough to design it separately without thinking about how it looks. Then implement the layout using CSS. Then apply styles. This also helps in physically separating the three aspects – markup, layout and style. Do no change the markup to ever define how it looks. If you want a visual representation, check out a design lifecycle as it should be. [...]

[...] Or if it really works well, we should have News 2.0, Radio 2.0, Humanity 2.0, or Life 2.0! I wonder the conversations when version numbers would be flying around. Now Semantic Web is being touted as Web 3.0. Were semantics not stressed on earlier? Is the software community not aware of its benefits? Does Web 3.0 now imply that every website that has to qualify should have semantic markup? [...]
