Anne van Kesteren sat down with Simon Pieters to talk about the impact of XML on the mobile web, who gave a surprising insight into its failure. They discuss the level of support for XML vocabularies in mobile browsers, and what mobile browsers have been forced to do for compatibility with legacy content.
Pattern theorists have suggested Steve Faulkner will be hosting this show, but this is not the case. In fact, it’s Lachlan and I, Anne, again. With Marcos adding our awesome music.
HTML5 has recently been published again by the W3C and this podcast introduces the new features and some of the old. data-* attributes, ruby annotations (not programming), global tabindex attribute, et cetera.

In London at @media 2008, Lachlan caught up with Steve Faulkner to talk about the WCAG 2.0 guidelines.
Anne caught up with Lachlan Hunt, editor of the Selectors API specification, in Oslo, Norway. Lachlan describes the purpose of the spec and who’s implementing it, as well as outstanding issues and fancy new features that the WebAPI Working Group wants to add in due course.

Welcome to our two part discussion on ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) and HTML5.

Next week, Anne sits down with Lachlan Hunt, editor of the W3C’s Selectors API specification, to chat about implementations, open issues, and where that spec is headed.
