Simon St. Laurent on the process forging HTML5:

HTML5 will be damaged, its credibility weakened, but will still be important, one way or another.

Yeah, I sure wish HTML5 were going more like, say, the W3C’s XHTML 2.0 spec. That worked out great.

Update: Mark Pilgrim says to look at primary sources.

Gruber nous rappelle que le fanboyzisme liquéfie le cerveau, et Pilgrim que l'Atomicité détruit la probité. Ils font la paire.
