Surfing the web with RULE

RULE must allow web surfing both in character and graphic mode.

At least when in graphic mode, even modern web sites with frames, javascript and such must be supported, as long as they are compliant with real web standards, and don't use any proprietary "extension". To educate new users, we should add in the final documentation something explaining that if they can't browse a non compliant site, it's not their fault, but the webmaster's. In other words, that when a web site starts pretending to be viewed only with one browser, or starts dumping unneeded Flash and other trash-TV kind of things on users, they shouldn't feel inferior, just never come back, and let the webmaster know about it.


General criteria

Following are some features that should be present in all browsers we offer, as well as some problems that should be dealt with in some standard way.
