http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12561 --- Comment #25 from Luke Plant <L.Plant.98@cantab.net> 2011-07-21 23:43:42 UTC --- Sorry for the noise, but I also meant to say that the problem with compatibility applies to HTML4/HTML5 as well as XHTML/HTML5 (as already mentioned above). The current spec makes it impossible to generate a form that targets the same URL, and have that form be both valid HTML4 and valid HTML5. Section 2.5 of the HTML design goals - http://dev.w3.org/html5/html-design-principles/#compatibility - says this: "implementations should be able to add new features to existing code, rather than having to develop whole separate modes." It seems to violate the design goal of 'evolution not revolution' to add something to the spec that requires a doctype switch to specify between HTML4 and HTML5, when all I want to do is use a subset of the capabilities provided by both HTML4 and HTML5. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
