Web-Platform Round-Table
We want to bring together Web developers (the panel) and Mozilla developers. Vladimir Vukicevic (Firefox developer) is going to lead the discussions. The panel consists of 8 Open Web Gurus, experts in different areas (offline, canvas, geolocation, video, accessibility, ...). And, of course, the audience is welcome to take part in the discussion.
Share with us your real-world uses and success stories of modern web technologies.
What we are looking for (quote from Vladimir):
• We are interested to hear what you think we could be doing better at, in terms of support for current or emerging web standards. Are there existing features in other browsers that you want to take advantage of that we don't support? What about those features is compelling?
• What's missing from the web platform? Where do you want to see us take it? If you could pick one capability to add to the web, what would have the biggest impact on your web app development?
• Of the currently supported standards, what's painful? What would you like to see us focus on improving, whether through enhancement or through change?

Comments
This are the wishes I have. The list comes from my remote XUL development (burden) experience:
1. BUGFIX: Support the formatting when copying the fragments out of the application/xhtml+xml documents!
It is homogeneous document environment so why it is not possible to copy piece of XHTML document and paste it into another (or the same) without loosing copied data?

2. FEATURE: Have the <br/> CSS style-able. At least support br::before { content: "↵";}
3. BUGFIX: When XBL binding is removed, call destructor always. Detach the bindings and destroy generated content when the CSS rule stops matching.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_b...
4. FEATURE: Editor's execCommand('insertHTML', false, xhtml) support for full XHTML - tag name/attribute name case sensitive, do not destroy namespaces, do not destroy arbitrary markup...
5. CSSFEATURE: Be able to select element based on children presence. td:empty, td:hasChild(br[_moz-dirty]:only-child)
:-) Thanks for listening.
