It will unilaterally kill many extensions people use today. Rather than an open API based on a W3C standard, you now have to use a Google maintained one to negotiate the design of the software. Interoperability and inspectability replaced with centralisation and obfuscation. 6/7

Kindle Publishing Guidelines state that sRGB is not supported and (presumably) linear RGB should be used. But AFAIK JPEG does not support linear RBG, you can transform the pixel data but the metadata still says sRGB. /1

Thanks to @codexeditor for linking their paper on integrating standoff markup and graphs.

[Codex @codexeditor]

@markupdec @LinguaCelta And this paper touches on the possibilities of integrating standoff texts and the graph.

@codexeditor @LinguaCelta Sounds very cool!

@louBurnard We have an encoding joke to declare.

[lou Burnard @louBurnard]

I used to have an XSLT joke, but it was purely functional

@codexeditor Personally, I (@LinguaCelta) haven’t had much direct experience of it, but I’ve heard quite a bit from others who find it invaluable for complex text annotation. It seems to me that it’s an extremely useful way of overcoming some weak points in XML.

[Markup Declaration @markupdec]

@codexeditor Hmm... that would depend on who you ask! The Markup Declaration community is made up of quite a variety of people, with a variety of technical backgrounds.

@louBurnard @hcayless At least five leather-bound tomes, the last of which is entirely composed of appendices.
