It's a beautiful design. Libeskind's design study for the WTC site is a very interesting read. (Why couldn't I find this link on any of the news sites?)

I've turned off client-side XSLT transformations for all browsers. Neither IE6 nor Mozilla 1.3a+ have all the DOM features available in script when the HTML is from a client-side XSLT transformation. So all pages are now served again in good old HTML 4.01.

The XHTML 2.0 with XIncludes isn't gone though. It's just tranformed on the server. If you want to see this page with XHTML 2.0, you can click on the grey XML icon to the right. Or, if you want to peek in the source, click View Source next to it.

It always annoyed me that in the various statistics and blog indexes, this site always showed up twice: as w3future.com and as www.w3future.com. You cannot entirely prevent that, but I changed my .htaccess file to redirect anything that does not use w3future.com as a domain name:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^w3future.com$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ https://w3future.com/$1 [R=301]

Norman Hardy informed me that the link to Javascript on the Loell page was no longer valid. The page is moved to a new location. What were they thinking. There's not even a redirect on the old address, you get a 404 error.

When I read Norman's mail I thought, at least they finally did something about that ugly old site. But they even didn't do that. It's surely the ugliest site on the web with important internet related information on it. (A tip when you don't have any feeling for web design: don't touch that color selector!)
