Some time ago I was asked in an interview whether I preferred HTML or CSS. It was a bit like being asked if I prefer pens or pencils. I made an instinctive choice. I chose HTML. It’s the typography of data; the inflection in our voices; the grid of meaning upon which presentation can flourish. I find it beautiful when done well, and that’s why watching HTML 5 unfold with new and refined elements is fascinating to me.
