Using custom DOM Attributes in XHTML
Unspace: Attributes > Classes: Custom DOM Attributes for Fun and Profit
To date, I have not drunk the class Kool-Aid. Molly Holzschlag assures me that the class attribute is to be used for visual as well as non-visual classes, yet I still have three primary reasons for questioning this approach:"
A very interesting and well articulated article. I need to check the validity of inventing arbitrary attributes for XHTML elements (without declaring them to be from a namespace), but I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt until I'm convinced his approach is invalid.
I'm explicitly posting this separately from the linkdump because I didn't want my XHTML/JS/AJAX-savvy readers to gloss over it in a list of 50 other links. IMHO, this article is worth a careful read.
I'm not a JS/Ajax developer, but I see value in this approach. Do you?
JS developers who read this site: please share your opinion of the ideas presented in that essay, I value your input. If you like it, and the reason isn't obvious from the essay, please say why, but if you don't like it, convince me!

rc3.org: Better backups using S3
Rafe is documenting his experience setting up an S3 account and using it to back up is data. A good read.
Mammoth (seriously) Linkdump
Phew, I'm glad to get all this off my chest (umm, browser). Not terribly organized, but it was this or I close all those tabs in NNW and Firefox and just have them go "poof!", and that wouldn't do at all.

Amen. Use XML for what it's meant for, which (IMHO) is data exchange and publishing, and that's just about it. XML configuration files suck, big time. Boo crushing XML-configitis in Java web frameworks.
