  • Any author that writes "it's a matter of simply deciding on a manageable subset of HTML and CSS and then calling it a standard" with a straight face may not understand the meaning of many of those words.

    Nobody (and I do mean not one person) agrees with anyone else on which subsets of HTML and CSS are necessary.

    CommonMark exists: https://commonmark.org/
