wispfoxIs it disturbing that I try to refer to people on LJ, in non-LJ contexts, as ‹lj user=username›? Not just by their username, but by trying to use lj-specific html.

Date: 2004-02-18 11:14 pm (UTC)It would be nice if HTML had had a feature where if you left out the "a" text, it would fill in the title from the named thing. Then we could use something like <a href="http://wispfox.livejournal.com"/>, which would be standard and nice.
I'm generally not sure what to make of LJ's ... standards compliance.
My general issue is how to avoid people being trapped by LJ. I can't move my journal off LJ without giving up.... what? At my own site, (1) I couldn't use LJ's authentication of people, and (2) people couldn't subscribe nicely to my journal in their LJ friends list (essentially an RSS aggregator) because LJ's RSS import implementation is broken for off-site feeds. (2) could easily be fixed, and I have a plan for (1).....
