Michael(tm) Smith » WebKit adds support for the HTML5 <ruby> element
Current versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer also have native support for ruby, and you can also get ruby support in Firefox by installing Piro’s XHTML Ruby add-on (and for more details, see his XHTML ruby add-on info page) — so we are well on the way to seeing the HTML5 ruby feature supported across a range of browsers.
Maintenant que Ruby a gagné son petit autocollant "HTML 5", les développeurs de navigateurs s'y intéressent. Comme quoi, le web tient à peu de chose.

XMLHttpRequest (XHR) Uses Multiple Packets for HTTP POST? || Joseph Scott
The short version of this is pretty easy to see, all of the browsers except for Firefox will use at least 2 packets for an XHR done over HTTP POST. When I saw that Safari sent 2 packets I figured that Chrome would as well, but I tested it anyway just to make sure.

Character encoding detection for external scripts
This is (EF BB BF) C3 B6 3D 22 21 22 loaded into browsers under various labels. That happens to be properly formed ECMAScript code for all the encodings used. The bogus results for Opera9 can easily be reproduced in context of the testing script, but probably not individually from a clean cache; what's going on there is unknown. I also noted in running these tests that Opera claims "Opera supports the entire ECMA-262 2nd and 3rd standards with no exceptions" while in fact their implementation does not, the parser rejects code that follows the IdentifierStart :: UnicodeEscapeSequence production of ECMA-262 section 7.6. Instead it implements Opera-only extensions, like comma-free arrays ala [ 1 2 3 ]. Other fun facts include: IE does not implement onload for iframes and cannot modify the innerHTML or tr elements; Firefox ignores "tags" when setting the innerHTML of dynamically created tr elements with no ownerElement... Oh and Opera again needs /th "tags" so it won't nest adjacent th elements when setting innerHTML.

Re: xmlns in HTML5 (was: Telecon Agenda- Thursday 1500 UTC) from Steven Pemberton on 2009-07-17 (public-rdf-in-xhtml-tf@w3.org from July 2009)
discussion etre hixie et steven a propos de ce qu'est XHTML.Well, the author can say it is anything they want, but that doesn't change what it actually is. It is literally not possible to send XHTML5 as text/html, because as soon as you label it as text/html, you are stating "it is HTML".
I used to think that too, but then I realised that in the real world it is different. Browsers sniff, and media types are hard-wired into software, rather than being an extension point. You have to row with the oars you have got. As I said, I send documents with media type text/html, not because they are necessarily HTML, but because I want them in the browser. I agree that the document gets *processed* as HTML, but the document doesn't magically change type just because it gets sent with a certain media type.
