I think that its the old case of finding a middles ground / fine balance between usability and and the flashiness that clients like.

He has a lot of good points about the comic book layout similarities, but I don’t see what’s wrong with making a “POW!!!!!” bubble flash onto the screen whenever you click a link :)

Psst: The rythm of a page-link isn’t working. Lacks the “s” in “blogs”.

Seems they need to sort their website out.

interesting that this doesn’t mention his comments about css11, the new working group he is a part of to push along the w3c with its css3 specification.

I’m a bit mixed on this really. Whilst css3 is coming along slow, not all vendors have adopted css2 and css2.1. If css3 comes out tomorrow, why should we believe that MS will impliment it in less then 10years, given the time they have taken to impliment (and no impliment) the existing css specification?

Surely the pressure to push the specifications should be at the vendor, to first impliment the existing specification, not on the working group to publish a new specification that Opera/FF/KHTML will impliment overnight, yet no-one is able to use because 70% of the market are using a browser that doesn’t even support pseudo selectors on all elements.

I admire his passion and dedication to get these standards pushed through, but surely the effort could be directed in a more helpful direction.
