Comment on 4chan switches to HTML5/CSS3 (SFW)parent

Comments

HTML5 is supposed to degrade gracefully. Nothing about it should instantly break old browsers, so there's nothing really inconsistent about using CDATA with HTML5.

Like I say: I'm nitpicking. To be honest, I'm not a fan of inline javascript. But I'm not really 4chan's core audience - they may have a reason why they have so much inline js.

Why would any part of 4chan's audience care about such implementation details (e.g. inline javascript)?

Why would they care about HTML5?
