@ljrk @miki Which is why posts like these are made, complete with links to the relevant sources.

Habit is no excuse, and neither is ignorance. If you are concerned that people may not realise it is provided as an example, you should document this, within the context you are using it, because that part of your argument applies regardless of which address you use as an example.

@sindarina @ljrk This is sometimes not possible, for example in config files that have to be written in pure JSON (and hence don’t support comments). Sure, there’s always a manual, but having to read that is nowhere near good UX design principles.

@sindarina @miki The discussion was not about habit, zero points there. And it's not about ignorance of the designer but the user, and assuming users know every RFC is a bullshit assumption.

But I have enough about getting told I'm ignorant or just doing things out of habit. If you want to just attack people disagreeing instead of actually trying to understand their points fine, but not with me. What load of toxic bs.
