@addyosmani Both’re obviously nicer, yet different from how HTML/JavaScript’ve handled attributes/events. Except elem.style.backgroundColor.

via Echofon in reply to addyosmani

@addyosmani I wonder why event names should use ‘-’s (compare e.g. loadedmetadata)? Why camelCase attributes (compare e.g. contenteditable)?

@edsu The old “With great power comes great responsibility” & “Correlation does not imply causation”. Hard to put all this in a Twitter bio.

via Echofon in reply to edsu

@edsu No, it’s a _great_ tool. Simply, iff interpreted incorrectly (ie, w/o understanding the mechanics), I see news-hungry abuse potential.

via Echofon in reply to edsu

@edsu Liked the metaphor :-) Reg. politics: @congressedits et al. have become an (albeit modest) political since they got press coverage.

via Echofon in reply to edsu

@edsu No context needed. Simply imagine twitter.com/search?q=%40co… being smear edits. Easy to false(?)-accuse an anonymous evil-doing democrat.
