       Modern HTML, CSS, JS, and WebAPI are huge and complicated, and writing your own browser from scratch is almost impossible. It leads to only few alternatives available, and it gives them too much power. We need more diversity. So, here's the deal:1. We make specs for a small subset of HTML, CSS, JS, and WebAPI that is just enough.2. You make a browser that can render just that.3. I make all my websites work in it.Let's build a truly #IndieWeb.#chrome #firefox

       @orsinium We already have a @w3c standard for that called XHTML Basic: https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/

       @mjgardner@social.sdf.org There's also HTML 4.01 for those who don't want to deal with XML, as well as CSS 2.1 and ECMAScript 5. Though for JS in browsers I would probably go for ES6 or ES2017 at least to support pretty much all use-cases out there. But if you're a website developer then opt for the older ES5 instead.The first step to a truly #openweb is to bring back caring about backwards compatibility.@orsinium@fosstodon.org @w3c@w3c.social
