California Balks At Internet Sales Tax 268

bob_calder writes "California has walked away from $2 billion a year in revenue by declining to get on board with a group working to standardize tax rates so a national tax on Internet sales could eventually be implemented by Congress. Supporters of the tax think they still have a chance in New York, Texas, and Florida. At the moment the largest states pursuing the Streamlined Sales Tax Initiative are New Jersey, Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. California didn't want to give up its autonomy in setting taxes to a coalition of smaller states."

Seperating layout from content isn't such a big deal either IMO because a) 99% of the time your html has to be in a very specific order for your layout to work, not to mention the 8000 wrapper divs and what not you have.

If designed properly, the order of your XHTML will matter very little when seperating layout from content. Also, designating many different div tags as wrappers is needless in most situations. You just need to think through a layout idea before coding a single line.

b) Most websites run off a scripted/coded backend where most of the content is pulled from a database anyways

Regardless of where the information for a page comes from, you are always in control of how it is rendered to the browser. The rendered XHTML, CSS, and Javascript is where the seperation of layout, content, and behavior is helpful.
