Submission + - How would you usurp the web browser

cyclomedia writes: "I've been thinking about this for a while now, and a recent article posturing about Web 3.0 brought forward some other peoples' suggestions in the form of what should be next. Everyone here knows that HTML, Javascript and HTTPRequest are not the tools for building feature-rich interactive networked applications, but that doesn't stop Google, Microsoft and others from trying their damndest to use them to build office suites and such like. As one project that puts itself forward puts it: we need to replace the Document Browser with an Application Browser. So my question, intended to get the ball rolling, is: What type of platform would you like to see delivering the "true" Web 2.0 in the not too distant future?"

Submission + - W3C publish WHATWG Web Forms 2 draft spec

cyclomedia writes: In a glorious moment of web standards cooperation, not to mention months of revisions and mailing list debate the WHATWG Web Forms 2 draft has been accepted by, and published at the W3C. This comes over a year since the WHATWG asked for "final" comments on the spec so it's taken some time to iron out the creases.

The past month has also seen the start of an official Gecko drive to impliment the spec, possibly in time for the 1.10 release. Though bits and pieces have already been filtering into the source such as the much debated "ping" attribute. Opera already has a head start on the Mozilla camp touting Web Forms 2 support in it's 9.0 release.
