HTML 4.01 over XHTML 1.0 Strict

My vote is for HTML 4.01 over XHTML 1.0 Strict. After spending a couple of years running XHTML 1.0 Strict pages on my site I'm convinced that it's a waste of time. The simple fact that the application/xhtml+xml MIME type isn't supported in Internet Explorer makes a mass implementation pointless. I'd much rather advocate a doctype that is uses a MIME type that is widely supported, i.e. HTML 4.01 over text/html. --Arapehl 16:11, 30 June 2008 (PDT)

YUI Compressor

I really think that the YUI Compressor should be implemented at build time. That way, all dev can be handled in "expanded" mode full of comments and even debug code. All compression, API documentation building (via JSDoc), etc... could then easily be managed in one place, the build file. --Arapehl 16:11, 30 June 2008 (PDT)

This will be implemented shortly on AMO [1], I'm working on expanding it to Sumo too. --Bkrausz 15:14, 15 July 2008 (PDT)
