In my web surfing on work time today I came upon the good old Acid2 test's explanation page, and was reading up on data urls. Anybody tried working with them? Any feelings on them? I should probably dig up some info on them sometime, because I'm not actually convinced that they're useful.
Any other fun new unsupported standards that you're looking forward to messing with? I'll tell you I await with great joy the full support of CSS's min-height and max-height commands. And child selectors. There also still seem to be rendering errors in some browsers of hover action on things other than a tags. There's some crazy CSS being made with the hover attribute.
I'm mainly up on CSS, but would love to hear about the latest innovations in other realms (especially accessible flash). If you haven't seen "cutting edge CSS" yet, here's some good examples:

Re: Data URLs / cutting edge new standards
Mon, January 15, 2007 - 10:02 AMoh, and another thing that's come up recently is google adwords (and similar services). it bleeds right on through to the basic architecture of the site, and can be quite the revenue stream if implemented correctly. i'm very tempted to play with a hack of it, but maybe i'll just put it together then not implement it. -

Whats your thoght on the correct "implementation". Im afmiliar with adwords, and i know what you mean about the bleed to architecture, but im not sure what youre talking about hacking together? A adwrods centric architecture? A loose framework? What? -

Re: Data URLs / cutting edge new standards
Mon, January 15, 2007 - 11:46 AMwhat i mean is that you have to find keywords that actually generate revenue. the way that adwords works is everyone bids on keywords, so you have to find keywords that are bid at significantly more than $0.01 a click. you also need to get traffic flowing through your site, integrate ads into your site smoothly, properly index yourself in search engines, etc etc.
the hacking thing is related to anonymous web surfing. you basically jump from server to server around the world every few seconds making your websurfing completely anonymous, as it is mixed in with the tens of thousands of other people using the same large newtorks of servers. you write scripts to emulate user behavior surfing through sites, etc. the clicks basically become "untracable". overdoing it, however, would make you stick out like a sore thumb.

Kinda seems like a way to make the web more hackable. Which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your pov.
