JavaScript is part of the web now. It's because people like interactive content, not because of some conspiracy to DRM their corporate advertising blog.

Also, proxying works fine for SPDY: http://dev.chromium.org/spdy/spdy-proxy.

"JavaScript is part of the web now." It wasn't before? It's acceptable to have completely blank pages with no content, JavaScript 'or else'?

"It's because people like interactive content". And Google put '+' into everything because 'people like social', not some plan to compete with Facebook.

"some conspiracy to DRM their corporate advertising blog." Because clearly I was talking about a single blog.

"proxying works fine for SPDY" A SPDY -> HTTP proxy. When there's a SPDY-to-SPDY caching proxy and no man-in-the-middle you might say it works fine.

...that's a lot of spin from a Google employee. Maybe I hit pretty close to the mark.

You're right that it's odd that the page is blank when viewed in w3m. I'm guessing this is an oversight rather than something intentional. I will investigate.

(As for SPDY proxies, I use one every day at work. I'm not sure why you are so concerned about the ability to proxy, but I assure you it works fine.)
