Yeah, you'd have to enforce very strict nesting rules in the document structure, which is impractical, especially for more complicated, multi-user web apps. Classes provide flexibility and atomicity.

> What’s the advantage of [shape-type="1"] over .shape-type-1? In terms of CSS selector performance, classes are often faster than custom attributes, so I also don't know if there are any advantages in this particular use-case.

Re:How An Introvert Learned To Be A Leader on Wednesday June 12, 2013 @07:19PM (#5871354)
Though I disagree with you on your issues with the title of the post, I did really like how you've described your definition of an introvert. That you can prefer to be an introvert but still embody qualities that we associate with extroverts (which is what the article is about.)

Under your definition, I'm definitely an introvert. I have no issues with public speaking, leading people, or being shy.

But if given a choice, I'd rather spend time thinking by myself, I would rather sit quietly and listen to other people in a dinner table, I prefer working on my own, and having peaceful alone time at home to "recharge" instead of going out.

>> "Similarly, we need to speak on behalf the developers to help reign in the designers, at times. If they are coming up with concepts that will be extremely difficult or time consuming to implement, we can explain the limitations of the technology and the complexity involved in implementing their designs"

I dislike this stereotype that developers can't communicate and work side-by-side with designers, and vice versa. It seems the writer thinks developers can't communicate or speak and need someone to translate for them, like they're a machine. It's quite disparaging, actually.

I also see a danger in having a middleman, so to speak. Things can get lost in translation.
