Washington diary: Clinton ploughs on
As the icy wind howled outside and downtown Cleveland began to look like the Kingdom of Narnia, the bar-stool pundits at the Marriott hotel were at a loss. The midnight hour was approaching. They had been looking forward to closure from the Democrats; they had spit-polished their political obituaries of Hillary Clinton; they were preparing to shed tears of defeat or joy and yearning for liberation from the marathon of instant analysis, number crunching and fickle opinions that had, quite frankly, exhausted them. "Enough already! Let's rest, recover and reboot for the really big campaign in the summer." Until the voters of Ohio and Texas spoiled it all by breathing new life into Hillary's campaign. After two months of gorging themselves on more politics than they could ever have imagined, the bar-stool pundits were beginning to feel like hostages at an eat-all-you-can buffet.

And they'd ask me, "Daddy, did you guys break the Web?" And most of the time I could honestly say, "No." But, you know, Web developers might answer that question a little bit differently. The question about, you know, does the Web work the way it should. And that's not because of security but because of interoperability, because of making things work well across different browsers. Now, for all that we did in IE7 around security and user experience, there's more that we can do for developers because developers are the people who spend their time building the Web all of us use. What devs want to do is deliver amazing experiences, but what developers end up doing is spending too much of their scarce time just getting basic things to work. You know, why does this page work in this browser but not that browser? Or why is this performance so different? Why doesn't this page work the way it should? The Web gets better when developers can spend less time working through interoperability issues and more time innovating.
