Indeed. So it'd be nice if we could know when the content is HTML5. I don't believe that we're going to be so brilliant that HTML 6 is absolutely, positively backward compatible, despite the best of intentions. No versioning means you can NEVER, EVER deprecate ANYTHING. -----Original Message----- From: Dao Gottwald [mailto:dao@design-noir.de] Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2007 10:45 PM To: Lachlan Hunt Cc: Chris Wilson; public-html@w3.org Subject: Re: Version information Lachlan Hunt wrote: >> Every time this WG releases a new version of HTML, if we can identify >> it we can automatically opt it in to "really really" standards mode. > > It has already been explained why such a solution is unworkable in the > real world for all future versions of HTML.

IMHO MS if free to violate the spec and stick with legacy rendering modes for HTML <5. The relevance of that will fade away with time. --Dao
