kurze geschichte von html -> xhtml
Web ID is an "Identifier" (an "HTTP URI" in fact), for Entity "You" of Type: Person, on the World Wide Web. It looks like a URL and feels like a URL, but isn't solely a URL, due to the inherent Identity/Access duality of HTTP scheme URIs. Thus, its Identity Function handles unique identification while its Access Function provides data access -- via a Web document URL -- to "Your" profile metadata (i.e., constellation of characteristics - attributes and values - that describe entity "You").
This series covers the incremental approach embodied by the WHATWG specifications and the radical cleanup of XHTML proposed by the W3C. Additionally, the author gives an overview of the W3C's new Rich Client Activity.
