1261343 - Implement Encrypted Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- UGGC/1.0

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

There is a proposal to add a new value "rot13" to text-transform. This is a pretty cool feature, and it's well-defined. We should implement it.

I think I disagree with this. It's not a cool feature, it's a totally English-centric gimmick, and doesn't belong in the CSS platform.

If anything, a generalized text-transform that allows the author to specify a tr/x/y/-style replacement or a mapping function of some kind (maybe via some kind of @text-transform rule) would be more worthwhile.

Gimmick?  Nah, rot13 is a super-advanced crypto recommended by the NSA, IIRC.
It certainly is better than the "Honest Achmed's Used Cars and Certificates"-based
security model the web has now. :-P

But I think this belongs in the network layer rather than CSS, so we should
implement support for this protocol:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-farah-uggc-protocol-00
(endorsed by the fine folks at NSA^H^H^H IETF so it can't be bad)
