Pfffft! Call me when it finally implements RFC1149 - or preferably RFC2549.

That's Level 1 of the OSI levels. HTTP is what, level 4?

Certainly more like Presentation (6) or Application (7). The encoding - the specific use of angle brackets, character entities and that sort of stuff - is a Presentation issue. That is how to represent an abstract information structure that might equally be represented in other ways (such as a DOM tree). The syntax and semantics of that abstract part of HTML belongs in Application.
Even though many people (usually with rather shallow knowledge of the OSI model - but that covers 95+ % of all software developers today) try to place various elements of IP based protocols into one single OSI layer, it usually can't be done properly, as seen from an ISO model point of view. In plain words: IP protocols are a mess in regard to clean layering.

Which do you mean, OSI or ISO?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

OSI is a standard family from ISO (in cooperation with ITU-T), so I guess the answer is: Both.

Having been out of the developer world through the era when HTCPC was created, I am made very curious: was this created to illustrate the OSI model?
Thanks for the lessons; I've always believed that shared development relied entirely on communication of purpose and methods. There is nothing so satisfyingly helpful as a well-made requirements doc.

I'm afraid that you can forget any hope of learning anything from OSI. It was thrown away, all its qualities were ditched. OSI is just for old time dreamers fantasising about how the world could have been. If the world wasn't different, of course ...

Hahaha. Thought that's what RFC1149 was. Didn't realize the two of them were related.
Fun

Actually, that would be AWESOME!
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I got all excited. I thought you were talking about a container for the Tiny Encryption Algorithm (TEA)[^], which I've used a number of times.

Reminds me of one of the clauses from RFC1122 (Requirements for Internet Hosts - Communication Layers) - that said software should be "Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound".
We found that when it was copied verbatim into an early draft of requirements for avionics compatible Ethernet (including UDP, TCP and IP layers)... Needless to say, it was swiftly removed!
PS - I hope you're this teapot...
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

At that time for me there was Doom II - my first serious videogame was Wolfenstein 3D. Always been an FPS guy since back then.

Starting Macintosh LC II was also big fun, especially at night ... I think my neighbours were awake each time when its gong went off ...

It sounds vaguely Star Trek / A Space Odissey music.
