Encoding & Layering Fun
I saw an interesting talk by Sam Ruby which was ostensibly about not using HTTP for things which it was not intended. The good stuff starts around slide 33. The thing that I found most interesting was his discussion about how layering of encodings can end up being a mess. In particular, the idea that (according to the standards) the HTTP Content-Type declaration is impossible to override from inside the document seems crazy.
