- An InDesign for HTML and CSS? – Jeffrey Zeldman Presents The Daily Report - "Well, there is a reason they absolutely do that with HTML. PostScript is a programming language designed to describe page layouts and text shapes in a world of known, fixed dimensions (the world of print), with no underlying semantics. PostScript doesn’t care whether an element is a paragraph, a headline, or a list item. It doesn’t care if a bit of content on one page cites another bit of content on a different page. PostScript is a visual plotting language. And HTML is anything but."

All big news for standardistas, this post does a pretty good job of summing it all up.
