Ah, interesting, I wasn't aware those things even had an actual purpose :-)
Replying to @patrickkettner
Ah, but that doesn't work offline so it's just as useless as @Shazam has become :-(
Replying to @FremyCompany
That's not going to work offline is it? @Shazam
Replying to @tabatkins
So I’ve now found out, but it doesn’t work offline the way @Shazam used to so it doesn’t help, sadly.
Replying to @FremyCompany
No: just record the fingerprint now and check it when you’re back online. @Shazam used to do that.
Replying to @FremyCompany
Yeah, like Google Now and friends. I’m sad, it used to be so useful! I generally need that when not connected.
Replying to @FremyCompany
I thought of that, but it means remembering, etc. We have technology! It used to work!

XHTML is pretty much legacy technology at this point, phasing out. Nothing prevents XML tool chains from consuming HTML.

«Official» is a big word for it, it’s defined because it’s still supported — not recommended. Not sure what you mean by enclosure?

Yeah, that’s not a specific problem we have (and we don’t use Mammoth) — I was just saddened/amused by the stuff people have to do.

That might work if nuclear plants invited people to come in and fix stuff, were a lot simpler, and less risky.

It would lead to too many widows and orphans.

@jacobrossi In drafts.csswg.org/css-snappoints/, should navigating to a hash be considered a «scrolling operation»? It’s unclear. It would be super.
Replying to @jacobrossi
Right now it doesn’t seem to work in Firefox, I need to try others. Man, this would be such a life-changer.
Replying to @jacobrossi
Actually, having scroll-snap-type: anchor would be real sweet. Most of the time I just want to offset anchor positions.

@stevefaulkner @LeonieWatson Just checking that I’m not completely insane: is this in any way accessible at all? readcube.com/articles/10.10…
Replying to @goetsu
Yeah, that was my reaction too — but with more swearing. @stevefaulkner @LeonieWatson
Replying to @goetsu
Problem is: this is used by publishers to claim they are Open Access. I say «No #a11y, no OA». @stevefaulkner @LeonieWatson
Replying to @stevefaulkner
ROFL, yeah, thanks — it was so blatantly bad I wasn’t sure it was even real. @LeonieWatson
Replying to @robeirne
Would you consider that it’s OA even though it is completely inaccessible to users with a broad range of disabilities?
If it’s not accessible, you really shouldn’t claim it’s Open Access. springernature.com/gb/group/media… cc @SpringerNature @readcube
