It supplants the previous 8601 for http api errors.
What are the life and breath of the web?
- Simplicity: keep it simple, stupid!
- Modular design: read https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Modularity.html later
It is also necessary to realize that your own system, no matter how big and wonderful it seems now, should always be designed to be a part of another larger system.
-
Tolerance: this principle can be contentious. When browsers are lax about what they expect, the system works better but also it encourages laxness on the part of web page writers.
-
Decentralization: if we make a knowledge representation system which requires anyone who uses the concept of "automobile" to use the term "http://www.kr.org/stds/industry/automobile" then we restrict the set of uses of the system to those for whom this particular formulation of what an automobile is works.

Test of Independent Invention: designing a system to be a part of an as-yet unspecified larger system
-
Principle of Least Power: The reason for this is that the less powerful the language, the more you can do with the data stored in that language. The Semantic Web is an attempt, largely, to map large quantities of existing data onto a common language so that the data can be analyzed in ways never dreamed of by its creators.
In the hypertext architecture, when making a reference, such as a hypertext link, we don't just refer to an information resource. Well, we can, but we can also refer to a particular part of or view of a resource. The string which, within the document, defines the other end of the link has two parts. It has the identifier of the document as a whole, and then optionally it has a hash sign "#" and a string representing the view of the object required.
A new project of the W3C to validate HTML5 pages
Note of Tim Berners-Lee
Even if this standard is not used for years, some ideas are interesting. How and which data is collected and used are pretty well standardized.
It can somehow interact with the GDPR.
It will solves a lot of tooltip or popover issues
Similar to microdata.
Designed for humans first and machines second, microformats are a set of simple, open data formats built upon existing and widely adopted standards. Instead of throwing away what works today, microformats intend to solve simpler problems first by adapting to current behaviors and usage patterns. - https://microformats.org/wiki/about
What is the difference between microformats and microdata? It seems that microdata is an extension of microformats. Also microdata is meant for HTML5, whereas microformats is meant for everything.
How to make design tokens interoperable? With a format that describes their serialization and which metadata should be attached to it.
Different loading hints:
async
resource is loaded when the browser candefer
resource is loaded when the DOM is parsed (less priority than async)rel=preload
load the resource before the parsing and everything elsefetchpriority
with valuehigh
,low
andauto
. They are hints.rel=preconnect
indicates that a connexion has to be established ASAP.rel=dns-prefetch
resolves the domain name without fetching the resource.loading
attribute determine when an image is loaded depending of its value:eager
: the image is loaded immediatelylazy
: the loading is delayed until the user scroll to it.

When you design a system or a language, if the features can be broken into relatively loosely bound groups of relatively closely bound features, then that division is a good thing to be part of the design. This is just good engineering. It means that when you want to change the system, you can with luck in the future change only one part, which will only require you to understand (and test) that part. This will allow other people to independently change other parts at the same time. This is just classic good software design and books have been written about it. The corollary, the TOII is less frequently met.
This kind of “insert block” user interface concept is showing up in almost every blogging tool, web editor, note-taking app, and content management system. People like it and it makes sense.
Embed blocks accross the web with the future block protocol :D
If APIs can share data between programs and websites, then I understand the block protocol as a way to share UI components and logic between websites.
