Any bureaucracy reorganized to enhance efficiency is indistinguishable from its predecessor. I’ve been doing a little cleanup around here. I finally got around to writing an XSL stylesheet for the XML versions of these essays. It only covers the tags I use, so it’s small enough to run in the browser. Check it out, if your browser supports XSL stylesheets. Tim Bray pointed out that the scaled image pages, the ones with all the metadata, can be a little startling if you aren’t at the end of a really fat pipe. You click on the image and you get a honking big table of metadata on the screen, it isn’t until the image has actually comes across the wire that you can see it. He’s right, that’s ugly. So now the image metadata is another link down. I’ve added “topic” feeds. If you look at the topics list, you’ll find RSS feed icons sprinkled here and there. I didn’t do all of them, just the ones I thought might be interesting. If I missed one you think is interesting, let me know. Tim Berners-Lee and Dan Connolly have basically convinced me that content negotiating the RDF for these essays is wrong. The point being that the RDF isn’t a different representation of these essays, it’s a representation of something else: metadata about these essays. I think that’s true, and I may pull the plug on content negotiating the RDF real soon now. Coming soon: Atom. It looks like the Atom work is coming together nicely. I’ll probably start generating Atom feeds sometime in the next few weeks or months. I’m open to other suggestions, too.
