1. pergamon: casey pointed out to me that when i put the link to that thread on the page i forgot to translate the ampersands, and so it wasn’t xhtml1.0 transitional anymore.

3. hober: The moral corruption of the W3C is made all the more clear by the fact that URLs can no longer be embedded in HTML without being escaped.
4. pergamon: that’s a very good point.
5. hober: i mean
6. hober: WHAT THE FUCK
7. hober: that is so gay
8. pergamon: but, well, there has to be some characters that either aren’t allowed in URLs or have to be escaped.
9. hober: sure, i agree

11. hober: whatever happened to “the null character and / are the only forbidden characters?” i miss those days

15. hober: qua qua qua qua qua qua qua
