HTML Is Dead!

Emphasis on managing HTML resources inappropriate:

• HTML is an output format, which cannot easily be reused (e.g. WAP, e-Books, etc.)
• Need to manage HTML fragments (only partly achievable with SSIs)
• Need to manage collections of resources
• Need to have single master source of data
• Need to support new developments such as personalisation
• Difficult to integrate with new formats

Issues:

• Should we stop giving HTML training courses?
• Should we stop buying HTML authoring tools?
