Dillo browserAfter taking a quick look at the "Prompt API" document, I decided to write some design notes towards a fork of the #Web.
On forking the Web
Dualtronic@dillo I remember reading the HTML 4.01 spec forwards and backwards, marveling at how well written it was. I'd start from it again and only backport the good parts from HTML 5: structural elements like header / nav / footer, newer HTML entities like ☆ and stuff like that. Might have to drop a few things in the process.
Heck, let's go back to HTML 3.2 and start again from there, like text browsers did.

@bkil I don't see the point when Dillo supports a nontrivial subset of HTML (and CSS!) while being not much bigger than Lynx.
