Very cool "Resource Bundles" spec from @littledan: github.com/littledan/reso…. It's a useful approach to address the bundling mess we see in JS (and other similar issues), building on smart work from @jyasskin and @yoavweiss but without the bits that help Google take over the Web.

This might form the model for a good advertising creative format that could also help solve the madness in ads. Bundles are first and foremost a way to control content. Making other people's content easier to control is rarely appropriate — but for ads it clearly is!

For @w3ctag nerds out there: this also adds new technical information to reopen "Authoritative Metadata". That has been an antipattern and I wish it were fully rescinded, but if the metadata is attached to the data, as it is here, that's a different story! w3.org/2001/tag/doc/m…
