Can't wait, this is a great line up, and a subject that clearly requires constant discussion (even at TypeCon, this was being treated almost like a new issue, when some of us have been figuring out creative ways to work within the technical constraints for 10 years or more).

It is not always a designer can implement all his ideas on the Internet. Unfortunately, the Internet does not provide all the possibilities for imagination of the designer.

There is a very interesting book about the most common topographic mistakes at the torrents search engine http://rapid4me.com . This question is quite topical and there is a lot of information about it. Though people continue making mistakes that can change the results of any research completely.

Talking about web typography is like supposing electronic communications will be denatured on one day. Web cannot be conceived independently from the standards that made it universal as it is. The best we can speak of is just more flexibility for designers in the future.

...REAL WORLD examples you perhaps wouldn’t normally use as inspiration - street signs, posters partially pealed off walls etc.
