There was a problem hiding this comment.
It's worthwhile to articulate how we approach the construction of this document. In a sense, this is an attempt to construct set of meta-principles for the principles for the design of the web. However, I think that this is far simpler than your list implies.
The point of the principles is to document established good practices. We do that based on looking at how the web works, both in terms of how the platform itself functions and in terms of how people have chosen to use that platform.
We also base them on things we learn as a result of discussing how to evolve it, but that's really just a matter of constructing a shared, platonic conception of the system as modified by a proposal, then examining it using the same process as we would the real thing.
That's about it.
I went through each item in turn and I think that you have a much shorter list in the end. Writing a short paragraph or two is probably better than a list.

Thanks @martinthomson . I've re-processed everything, your comments, and updated as best I can. I maintain that the bullet-point criteria help make evaluations more transparent and consistent. They also (now/better?) respect TAG's authority and the need for broader community input and refinement. |
