Dean Edwards的新的一篇blog是幾段引用,抄錄並勉強翻譯如下:
微軟的Chris Wilson 寫道 ..we worked together with The Web Standards Project (in the WaSP-Microsoft Task Force) on this problem. I can’t give them enough credit for this work;
……我們和Web標準項目組織(在WaSP微軟特別工作群組中)共同致力於這一問題。對於這一工作我無法給予他們足夠的讚美;Chris Wilson (Microsoft)
Drew McLellan 寫道Although members of the WaSP Microsoft Task Force were very much involved in this proposal, it is important to re-emphasise that this proposal is not one that every member of the Web Standards Project necessarily backs by default.
儘管WaSP微軟特別工作群組的成員密切參與了這項提案,我仍要重申,並不是Web標準項目組織的每個成員都必須無條件為該提案背書。
Drew McLellan (WaSP co-lead)
Aaron Gustafson 寫道I, for one, hope other browser vendors join Microsoft in implementing this functionality.
我本人,希望其它瀏覽器廠商也能和微軟一起,實現該特性。

Dean Edwards 寫道I won’t support any more cruft added to HTML without hearing the reasons.
“Don’t break the Web” is a way to befuddle us.
Tell us what your real concerns are and we will try to help.
We are not here to rubber-stamp the first crazy idea that you come up with.
如果沒有聽到合理的理由,我是不會支援給HTML再加入任何垃圾(cruft)的。所謂“不要破壞Web”只是糊弄我們。請告訴我們你真正的理由然後我們再談。我們到這兒來不是為你一拍腦袋就出來的瘋主意敲橡皮圖章的。

註:這裡提到的微軟的特性,就是指IE8裡用meta標籤指定網頁所相容的IE版本。這一問題(HTML是否要加入版本機制)的分歧非常嚴重,在HTML5的工作群組,或者在WaSP中都是如此。我希望以後有時間再能深入探討一下這一問題。
