Last time I looked, Netscape 0.9 was sufficiently unuseful due to its
not sending a Host: header with its requests, which kept it from
getting at most of 2002's web sites, let alone today's. This wasn't
about HTML though, it was about HTTP, and the direction taken probably
did a lot to conserve IPv4 address space. You have a better term for the hodgepodge of
tools and languages
used in contemporary webs? Maybe "web developer"? Who gets hired for
knowing only HTML and not any ancillary language to go along with it?
"Hodgepodge" is exactly the right term. How much of the web is
actually HTML 1.0-viewable now? Has anyone tried doing any
meaningful web browsing with an old copy of Mosaic?
