"The U.K.’s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) basically figures out..."

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 16:24:56 +0100

“

The U.K.’s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) basically figures out who deserves treatment by using a cost-utility analysis based on the “quality adjusted life year.”

One year in perfect health gets you one point. Deductions are taken for blindness, for being in a wheelchair and so on.

The more points you have, the more your life is considered worth saving, and the likelier you are to get care.
People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn’t have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless.

”

- Batshittistan — a land where Hawking is probably Kenyan or something.

“This isn’t to say I don’t use XHTML. It’s a fine medium for further processing (e.g. applying XSLT). But it’s not right for serving up to browsers verbatim.”

— Jabbering Giraffe

Couldn’t agree more. XML, and thus XHTML, is fantastic as part of a pipeline. XML processing tools let you add custom elements, metadata, display hints, settings and so forth and then a quick dash of XSLT gets you a finished render in HTML. Lovely.

After all, we don’t serve images on the web in .psd format, do we?

BT Webwise (Phorm) should, without question, allow website owners to block them through robots.txt without having to also block either Google or Yahoo! — in other words, it should observe rules set for a “Phorm” user-agent or equivalent, even if the technology means that there’s no such user-agent in practice.
