ouchnone of the browsers do what the specification says they should do. Internet Explorer and Safari do reasonably ok (*/* is not very different from not sending the header at all), however Firefox and Opera’s headers are terrible.

The Programmes Ontology
This ontology aims at providing a simple vocabulary for describing programmes. It covers brands, series (seasons), episodes, broadcast events, broadcast services, etc. Its development was funded by the BBC, and is heavily grounded on previous programmes data modelling work done there. This documentation page is a first draft. All feedback on either the ontology or this page is welcomed! Feel free to email the authors mentioned aboved. The design and layout of this ontology document is based on the Music Ontology and FOAF Vocabulary specification documents, and was generated using the following hand-tuned onto_spec.pl SWI-Prolog script and HTML templates.

Simple things make firm foundations - W3C Q&A Weblog
There are lots of reasons for modularity. The basic one is that one module can evolve or be replaced without affecting the others. If the interfaces are clean, and there are no side effects, then a developer can redesign a module without having to deeply understand the neighboring modules.

IPTC Tags
Une meilleure librairie avec des contraintes sur la longueur des champs comme indiquée dans la spec.The IPTC specification dictates a length for ASCII (string or digits) values. These lengths are given in square brackets after the Writable format name. For tags where a range of lengths is allowed, the minimum and maximum lengths are separated by a comma within the brackets. IPTC strings are not null terminated.
XTiger language specification
This document presents XTiger, an XML language for specifying document templates. XTiger templates are intended to guide an editing tool for building documents that follow a predefined model. The XTiger language is used jointly with another XML language, typically XHTML, which is called the target language. A template is a target language document where XTiger elements indicate how the document can be edited and still conform with the model. XTiger is versatile enough to represent templates that capture the overall structure of large documents as well as the fine details of a microformat.
ElementTree: Working with Namespaces and Qualified Names
Excellent tutorielThe XML Namespace specification adds qualified names to XML. A qualified name is a tag or attribute name that is associated with a given namespace. A namespace usually represents some kind of application domain, such as hypertext, graphics, resource descriptions, or type information. The Namespace specification allows a single XML document to contain tags and attributes from any number of namespaces, without conflicts.
