Yuma Blog :: Connecting with the Yuma web development community :: HTML Best Practices
The best resource I've found is the W3C Validator. You can point it to a particular URL, upload an HTML file, or post HTML content in its Direct Input field. Click the "Check" button. You'll either find a congratulatory message, or a detailed list of HTML flaws, with line numbers, detailed description of the problems, and very clear tips about fixing them.
Architectural Arguments | Thinking Clearly
Il y a juste un probleme dans le raisonnement de Roy Fielding. Si la dernière phrase est exacte… alors toutes les discussions autour du sujet sont inutiles. S'il y a discussion, c'est qu'il y a une peur de l'effet de la communauté html5 et dans ce cas, cela veut dire que cette communauté est suffisamment signifiante sur le marché des technologies. Elle a donc son mot à dire.HTML is just one of many data formats on the Web. These are all facts that are not open to debate—they are decisions that we made over a decade ago and reaffirmed by consensus of the TAG. Whether or not Ian agrees with the architecture is irrelevant.

SPARQL Endpoint interface to Python
This is a wrapper around a SPARQL service. It helps in creating the query URI and, possibly, convert the result into a more manageable format. The package is licensed under W3C license, and it can be downloaded in .zip and .tar.gz formats from SourceForge (also from Debian).

utf-8 Growth On The Web - W3C Q&A Weblog
On Google's blog, Mark Davis is explaining that Google is moving to Unicode 5.1. The article unfortunately mixes unicode and utf-8 as it has been noticed by David Goodger in Unicode misinformation. But the really interesting bit is the growth of utf-8 on the Web. These data should be interesting for the development of http, html 5 and validators.

David Baron's weblog: The age of bugs
Hey David, We have exactly the same critics at W3C. When a spec takes a lot of time, or things are not solved right away. We have tons of reproaches, because the information is accessible.Lately, I've seen some people criticize Mozilla because a particular bug (often a request for a new feature) that they care a lot about hasn't been fixed, on the basis that the bug was filed some number of years ago (generally more than five). I think this line of criticism is undeserved and seriously misguided. People who make this argument are, effectively, criticizing us for our openness.

A Standards Quality Case Study: W3C « Arnaud’s Open blog
The W3C process is so superior to that of ECMA and ISO/IEC, it’s these organizations that need to learn from W3C and those who are working for the W3C standard label to be recognized at an international level in its own right have all my support.
