02/10/2004 02:56 AMIn a much ballyhooed essay, Clay Shirky suggests that social software
bears some of the responsibility for Dean's loss in Iowa and New
Hampshire. David Weinberger, who has a good looking new blog at
Corante, thinks the idea is dangerous speculation at best, and perhaps
nonsense at worst. I agree. Blaming social software for Dean's loss is
like is blaming the arrangement of deck chairs on the Titanic for its
sinking. Most Americans still get the vast majority of their news from
TV, and I think you have to look first at the idiotic and sometimes
vitriolic press coverage of Dean (build him up so you can beat him
down, "is he electable", the scream, etc.), plus Dean's own stumbles,
for reasons for the failure of his insurgent campaign to do as well as
the media predicted he would. Occam's Razor would suggest that is
sufficient....

Should Web Designers Be Regulated?
Should Web Designers Be Regulated?
09/08/2004 06:16 PMOne of the reasons that the web caught on was that HTML was so easy
that, with barely any training at all,
anyone could create a
website. Obviously, that has its downsides as well, as many websites
are dreadfully designed. As accessibility issues become more
important for websites, it has some wondering if
web
designers should be regulated, where official web designers would
need specific certification, and couldn't use the title "Web Designer"
without it. While the HTML purists might like such a thing, it seems
like a fairly silly way of going around and improving HTML. A better
case could be made for just showing people how bad design harms their
business or visitors.

postel's law is for implementors, not
designers
postel's law is for implementors, not
designers
01/11/2004 10:13 AMAnother discussion that recently flared up (again) is regarding the
applicability of constraints within specifications, more specifically
(heh) of constraints that should or should not be placed in the Atom
API. The first I heard about this was through this
post on Mark's weblog, where among other things he
says:
Another entire class of unhelpful suggestions that
seems to pop up on a regular basis is unproductive mandates about how
producers can produce Atom feeds, or how clients can consume them.
Things like “let’s mandate that feeds can’t use CDATA blocks” (runs
contrary to the XML specification), or “let’s mandate that feeds can’t
contain processing instructions” (technically possible, but to what
purpose?), or “let’s mandate that clients can only consume feeds with
conforming XML parsers”.
This last one is interesting, in that it tries to wish away
Postel’s Law (originally stated in RFC 793 as “be conservative in what
you do, be liberal in what you accept from others”). Various people
have tried to mandate this principle out of existence, some going so
far as to claim that Postel’s Law
should not apply to XML, because (apparently) the three letters
“X”, “M”, and “L” are a magical combination that signal a glorious
revolution that somehow overturns the fundamental principles of
interoperability.
There are no exceptions to Postel’s Law. Anyone who tries to tell
you differently is probably a client-side developer who wants the
entire world to change so that their life might be 0.00001% easier.
The world doesn’t work that way.
Mark then goes on to
describe the ability of his ultra-liberal feed parser to handle
different types of RSS, RDF and Atom. (Note: I do agree with Mark that
CDATA statements should be permitted, as per the XML spec). In fact I
do agree with Mark's statement, but I don't agree with the context in
which he applies it.
Today, Dave points
to a message on
the Atom-syntax mailing list where Bob Wyman gives his view on the
barriers created by the "ultra-liberal" approach to
specifications, using HTML as an example.
I italicized the word "specifications" because I think there's a
disconnect in the discussion here, and the context in which Postel's
Law is being applied is at the center of it.
As I understand it, Mark is saying that writing down constraints in
the Atom spec (or any other for that matter) is something to be
avoided when possible, because people will do whatever they want
anyway, and it's not a big deal (and he gives his parser as an
example). But whether his parser or any other can deal with anything
you throw at it is beside the point I think, or rather it proves that
Postel's law is properly applied to implementation, but it
doesn't prove that it applies to design.
Mark quotes the original expression of Postel's Law in RFC 793, but
his quote is incomplete. Here is the full quote:
2.10.
Robustness Principle
TCP implementations will follow a general principle of
robustness: be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you
accept from others.
(my emphasis). The comment in the
RFC clearly states that
implementations will be flexible, not
the spec itself. I agree with Mark's statement: there are no
exceptions to Postel law. But I disagree in how he applies it, because
it doesn't affect design, but rather implementation.
Getting a little bit into the semantic of things, I think it's
interesting to note that placing a comment like that on the RFC is
actually defining accepted practice (dealing with reality rather than
the abstractions of the spec) and so it is a constraint (a constraint
that requests you accept anything, rather than reject it, is
nevertheless a constraint). So the fact that this "Robustness
principle" is within that particular RFC as an example shows that
placing constraints is a good idea.
Implementations can and often do differ from specs, unintentionally
(ie., because of a bug) or otherwise. But the less constraints there
are in a spec, the easier it is to get away with extensions that kill
interoperability. So I don't think it's bad to say what's "within
spec" and what is not within spec. Saying flat-out that
"constraints are bad" is not a good idea IMO.
One example of a reasonable constraint that I think would be useful
for Atom would be to say that if an entry's content is not text or
HTML/XHTML (e.g., it's a Word document, something that as far as I can
see could be done on an Atom feed according to the current spec) then
the feed must provide the equivalent text in plain text or
HTML. Sure, it might happen that someone starts serving word
documents, but they'd be clearly disregaring the spec, and so taking a
big chance. Maybe they can pull it off. Just as Netscape introduced
new tags that they liked when they had 80 or 90% market share. But
when that happened, no one had any doubts that using that tag was
"non-standard". And that's a plus I think.
So, my opinion in a nutshell: constraints are good. The more things
can be defined with the agreement of those involved, the better, since
once something is "out in the wild" accepted practices emerge and the
ability to place new constraints (e.g., to fix problems) becomes more
limited, as we all know.
What I would say, then, is: Postel's law has no exceptions, but it
applies to implementation, not design.

09/27/2004 05:32 AMIn my 2002 book, The Online Rules of Successful Companies, I said it
was stupid to design Web sites that would work correctly only with the
most popular Web browser. Yes, I told readers, over 90% of all
Internet users today may use Microsoft's Internet Explorer (MSIE), but
not long ago 90% of all Internet users ran Netscape. Web designers and
site owners who made Netscape-only sites had to scramble madly to redo
their work when MSIE started getting popular. "Learn from this!" I
said.
