C’est plus compliqué que ça. Le W3C gère la partie technique, mais pas la partie réglementaire. @Korben
Ce qui est mal relayé c’est que la partie technique fonctionne, mais la partie régulation pose problème. @Korben

That’s an interesting question. I suggest you ask them :)
I’m not defending CSS. I’m simply pointing out that you haven’t made a credible proposal to address the issue.
Finding better technical solutions is always possible. Getting browsers to support them is the hard thing.
Sometimes it’s hard for good reasons, sometimes for bad. But that’s where it happens.
It’s not that I care about whether W3C is disbanded or not. If you have a solution that works I’d be really happy.
You propose a plan of action; my experience is just that it’s unlikely to convince implementers. But srsly, try!
Agreed. But deployment at scale has its own issues. Replacing the stack from scratch was tried before, it failed!
But that can’t mix with CSS3. Which would be fine, except that in the real world horrors such as Like buttons inject theirs.
Fair enough, but I’d be surprised if it didn’t create issues. Radical migration on the Web is never trivial.
At any rate, if you want to make proposals to improve layout then sure do. But you’ll get better traction without the rage :)
BTW if you want to build things constructively, you might want to look at specs.webplatform.org (and @specifiction)

Wait. Installing io.js automatically shadows your NodeJS install? Whoa. That’s fucking aggressive.
It’s supposed to be a fork. I installed it to try it. I didn’t expect my Node setup to break. It’s fucked up.
It would make sense if there weren’t differences, or if it asked my opinion. Here, it just broke my setup.
I reckon the way around it is for @official_iojs to not act like douches.

If you were thinking of trying io.js, DON’T. It will overwrite your working Node installation, then break it. Aggressive and not ready.
♥ 4↺ 4
It’s all kinds of wrong. It broke node-gyp. Then tried to download itself (WTF?) and failed to build itself.
After that npm was fucked. I had to raze everything and install Node from scratch. Thanks @official_iojs!
I can’t believe they just overwrite Node. It’s just amazingly hostile, and a great way to break stuff people rely on.
Sure, but iojs shouldn’t overwrite Node with no warning. If they wanted to, they could detect Node and suggest nvm.
That’s cool, I’ll probably do that once I get less pissed off at io.js’s benighted hostility :)
Yeah, or at least a warning.
But if you don’t have Node, how can you program things that aren’t Web pages?
I guess that’s an option, but I was only half-joking. I do everything in Node these days, including sysadmin stuff.
Funny, but I’m not even sure what’s dangerous about that :)
No, you’re probably right, I’ll immediately go check out all those great sysadmin libraries in Scala! #ohwait
You can't do it for all specs, you will break some. You introduce new versions incrementally @fantasai @SimonSapin @marcosc @ibjacobs
