This forum was growing a bit dry, so I decided to bring up a new, cool working draft that if we're lucky will be implimented withing the next few years (or in mozilla.version += Math.random() ).
HLINK is a new tag designed to define link actions on tags ( http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-hlink-20020913/ ) and has some pretty nifty features. Although its main point (I believe) is to define what already exists so they can remove some specs and add some code, it has some cool potential.
Of particular interest is their <home /> example and onFailure. A nice example would be:<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code><hlink namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
element="img"
locator="@src"
effect="embed"
actuate="onLoad"
onFailure="processChildren"/></font id=code></pre id=code>And<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>artwork.jpg
Your browser failed to show my artwork, click here to attempt to open it. (artwork.jpg)
</img></font id=code></pre id=code>
And shall we fear it now or later? Scriptless popups:<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code><hlink namespace="http://www.example.com/markup"
element="popup"
locator="@file"
effect="new"
actuate="onLoad"/>
<popup file="MyReallyReallyAnnoyingAd.html" />
</font id=code></pre id=code>
Other W3C branches I found myself amused with this week:
Learning from HTML4 mystakes: http://www.w3.org/TR/xframes/
True seperation of content from presentation, a tag for everything (still validatable): http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html-spec/
I'd love to see this as a reality (maybe not math though): http://www.w3.org/TR/XHTMLplusMathMLplusSVG/
