   Re: [xml-dev] Postel's law, exceptions

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

The thing "they" all seem to miss about the Postel quote, was that it was
written as part of a specification, and referred to that spec.  When
there's "wiggle room" in the spec, be liberal in what you accept, and
conservative in what you implement.  Where there's no ambiguity (over
there, in the box), the rule doesn't apply.
