Looking at what we’re using here in LJ and the system behind it … pretty awesome.
Then, synchronously, I encounter (again) Jesse Ruderman and his Javascript shell.
Amazing …

Of transclusion and "purple letters"
An item on support.opml.org spun off this set of items:

A late night find: google’s AJAXXLT – “AJAXSLT is an implementation of XSL-T in JavaScript, intended for use in fat web pages, which are nowadays referred to as AJAX applications. Because XSL-T uses XPath, it is also an implementation of XPath that can be used independently of XSL-T.”
Of implementation and "startup"
So many options! I remember consulting on hardware purchases back in the early 90s … the sort of task that has informed my thinking on “Participatory Deliberation”: in an imperfect world every option closes some doors.
RubyOnRails? Dang … I had kinda ruled that out … but kiko.com has me thinking again. (Kiko’s homepage makes a nice pitch for Web2.0 … and the description of Javascript ActiveRecord states the case for JS very neatly.) And the ActiveRecord project is, well, a pretty good pitch for Ruby itself!
Also of interest: Douglas Crockford on Javascript.

Javascript is soooo neat … see this MetaTag Generator
Oooh this guy's good
http://www.quirksmode.org/ … Peter-Paul Koch. I was just looking for examples of XML parsing in Javascript!
Mmmm, a nice buglist in http://www.quirksmode.org/js/findpos.html
Shiet, kewl … I rummaged around his bio stuff and found “DOM Scripting Task Force » Manifesto“
Oh my, I've been soooo out of the loop! JCP
“Since its introduction in 1998 as the open, participative process
to develop and revise the Javaâ„¢ technology specifications, reference
implementations, and test suites, the Java Community Process (JCP)
program has fostered the evolution of the Java platform in cooperation
with the international Java developer community.”
Why "dialectical analysis"?
If people with widely divergent opinions agree on something, is that to be taken as more than mere concensus on one specific? Probably not … but what gives rise to such a constellation?
Anyhow, this breakdown of opinions on the issue of universal heath insurance brings this to a painful point: peek this typological breakdown … now, ponder this: if we could explicate the views of each of the groups who agree, wouldn’t that serve to clarify just what the “Enterprisers” are choking on?
(Supplemantary: how come fewer “Disadvantaged Democrats” support this than “Liberals”?)
