Interoperability

Filed under: Tech. stuff

I'm not sure why Opera (the web browser) is called Opera, but maybe it's a snippet from Interoperability. Here is perhaps the leakiest web document I've ever read, not necessarily because of the number of in-line links (although there are lots), but because of the propensity for the reader to follow each and every one to see where it takes them. Hakon Lie, Opera's CTO, makes some very good points about Microsoft's lack of conformance, although he does go on a bit. Hidden behind the text is the reason why browser coding is so difficult, and why organisations have to spend so much time, effort and money testing different browser/OS combinations.
