About and Historical Disclosure - web-send.org Archive

Non-Affiliation Statement

web-send.org operates strictly as an independent technical specification archive preserving open-source browser origin isolation, capability URL, and cross-origin state partitioning documentation since 2010. This site does not represent, speak for, or impersonate the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), The Tor Project, Google LLC, or the University of California, Berkeley.

1. Historical Provenance and Non-Impersonation Disclosure

Between December 2010 and 2013, web-send.org hosted the original Web Introducer and Bookmark Introducer specification drafts authored by Tyler Close, Rajiv Makhijani, Mark Seaborn, Kenton Varda, Johan Apelqvist, Claes Nilsson, and Mike Hanson. Those technical documents were subsequently cited across public standards archives, including the W3C Web and TV Interest Group (lists.w3.org), the Tor Browser Design and Implementation Specification (archives.seul.org and lists.torproject.org), the UC Berkeley Center for Law & Technology symposium records (law.berkeley.edu), and QCon San Francisco 2010 proceedings.

Following the expiration of the original project hosting and intervening years of domain parking and third-party WordPress or spam redirects between 2015 and early 2026, web-send.org was restored as a dedicated, zero-telemetry technical specification archive. All historical technical URLs from the 2010-2013 specification corpus are preserved or permanently redirected (single-hop HTTP 301) to annotated archival sections so academic, standards, and engineering citations remain verifiable without triggering Soft 404 errors.

Explicit Non-Impersonation Notice: This archive is maintained independently for technical preservation and educational reference. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or an official specification portal of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), The Tor Project, Google, Sony Ericsson, Mozilla, or UC Berkeley School of Law. Historical authorship credits belong solely to the original specification editors and researchers cited in each archived section.

2. Decommissioned Spam & Parking Path Quarantine

During domain drop-recovery audits, Wayback Machine records revealed unrelated third-party artifacts injected onto web-send.org between 2015 and February 2026, including WordPress CMS endpoints (/wp-json/, /wp-includes/, /xmlrpc.php), domain-parking scripts (/parking.php, /renewal.aspx), Japanese blog URLs, and adult spam HTML filenames. Every non-specification artifact is permanently quarantined at the Cloudflare Edge layer with HTTP 410 Gone and X-Robots-Tag: noindex, noarchive, ensuring search engines and security auditors encounter zero residual spam pollution.

Query-string probes leftover from WordPress search and post IDs (such as ?p=6 through ?p=26, ?s=..., and Akamai parking parameters) are likewise intercepted at the edge before reaching static asset routing. By isolating every non-archival artifact with explicit 410 Gone responses while preserving 100% of legitimate 2010-2013 specification routes via single-hop 301 redirects or direct 200 OK documents, the archive prevents Soft 404 dilution and honors every surviving academic and standards-body citation.

Archival Verification Methodology and Citation Standards

Every technical claim, actor definition, and protocol property published on web-send.org is verified directly against primary Wayback Machine snapshots from 2010-2011 and surviving public standards archives. Specifically, the 2011 Web Introducer draft metadata, the December 2010 Bookmark Introducer markup examples, and the 19-row Link Sharing Protocol Comparison scorecard are transcribed verbatim in technical meaning while modernized for responsive typography, accessibility, and zero-telemetry client execution.

Modern browser comparisons (Tor Browser First-Party Isolation, Chrome Storage Partitioning and CHIPS, Safari Intelligent Tracking Prevention, and HTML Living Standard window.name context-group resets) are annotated alongside the 2010 baseline so contemporary security engineers can trace how object-capability principles evolved into shipped user-agent defenses. All interactive diagnostics on this domain execute locally inside the browser with zero third-party script dependencies, zero native unstyled dropdowns, and hostname-locked analytics gated against automated headless crawlers.

In keeping with strict domain-isolation hygiene, web-send.org contains zero commercial promotions, zero off-topic outbound networks, and zero embedded third-party advertising beacons. Every external standards citation is audited against primary institutional repositories: the W3C Public Mailing List Archives (lists.w3.org), The Tor Project commit and developer archives (archives.seul.org and lists.torproject.org), the UC Berkeley Center for Law and Technology document repository (law.berkeley.edu), and the HTML Living Standard maintained by WHATWG. When historical target URLs (such as 2010 conference slide decks) move or expire upstream, the archive documents the exact historical citation context without fabricating unverified links.

Technical readers evaluating the state isolation sandbox or reproducing our protocol comparison tables can inspect the static stylesheets, self-hosted .woff2 typography assets, and deterministic sandbox script directly in browser developer tools. All inline architectural diagrams render using semantic CSS design tokens with accessible labels, and every tabular protocol comparison is wrapped in horizontally scrollable containers to preserve native table semantics across desktop and mobile viewports.

6. Editorial & Archival Contact

Standards researchers, archivists, and browser security engineers reporting broken historical anchors, specification errata, or attribution updates may write directly to [email protected]. Corrections referencing primary W3C mailing list URLs, Wayback Machine snapshots, or Tor Project commits are reviewed against public records before publication. Inbound mail to [email protected] and legacy administrative aliases is routed securely with strict DMARC rejection policies (p=reject) so third parties cannot spoof official-looking correspondence from this independent technical archive.
