I was getting repeated network connection errors on Netscape 4.** (Mac) and switched to IE. I just got a network connection error on IE5 (Mac).
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Anyone want to rewrite the site so it delivers XML, and then implement XSLT? It would simplify things SO much.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I will do it. I will code the ring to Mordor.

Uh, I can't do that, because I know jack about PHP, but I can help write or customize a DTD if we go XML.

Admittedly the idea was the spawn of an especially tedious day-long tech briefing with 200 word powerpoint slides, but really -- it would ease the difference between a standard page, a fuck-work page, a work-paranoid page and a threadsuck page, neh?
My XSLT is pretty limited, but it does need to improve.

I'm looking at the PHP XSLT engine, and it shouldn't be too bad ... we could start out small, with just the posts in XML and transformed.
I think.
But the whole page should be possible.
I think.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Well, if I've time, that's something I can work on.
Though my eyes may bleed.

How does using XML change our compatibity with various browsers?

The XSLT can spit out exactly the same HTML as we're using now -- it'll just make switching "skins" easier.

I'm just wondering where this fits on the priorities list, since it will make some things easier but take time away from other things.
