We were speaking about this at the W3C's Advisory Board meeting in London earlier this week. It distresses me that the specs on w3.org are so hard to read for the average developer. It's great to see how MDN focuses on simplicity, readability, and usable examples.

#113> One of our guiding principles in developing Microsoft Edge is that end users should never have to worry about which sites work in which browsers. This philosophy—”the Web should just work for everyone“—led to our choice to target the “interoperable intersection” of web APIs in our browser engineering. That's a good move by MS.

#118This is a great start. Now let's integrate caniuse into every single MDN page.

If caniuse had embeds, they could easily replace the existing compat tables on MDN.

#120Déjà vu. Previously ( checks email …almost exactly 5 years ago?!
