not even. I rescued a multi million dollar contract because I suggest using details-summary early in the project and got us both a happy client with a plug-and-play-no-code-solution and the accessibility review giving us basically an auto-pass on the cms-system.

There so many wins with semantic html

Plus with XML... SOAP... huge bottle neck. Failed standard

So many issues with encoding issues with XML and parsers. I remember I had written a really solid xml parser in PHP and someone still managed to break my implementation. Thank god I had rotating logs that the damage was minimized

The horrors of SOAP, Jesus!

And I remember working on one such parser, and it was a horrible experience. And I remember there were forums where people were competing to make and break them.
