Where's your reasoning? A product without a consumer doesn't seem so useful to me. There are all kinds of healthily evolving languages without version information tied to the content. HTML in feeds, CSS, PHP, English. > (4) I think IE's opt-in should be independent of DOCTYPE until such time > as they are confident that they have HTML5.0 fully implemented and > supported. Then one could imagine the doctype being used as the opt-in. That's what I claimed for some time now. The result was that I was first called naive and then ignored. Note that according to (4), that doctype could be <!DOCTYPE html>. If HTML 5 is "fully implemented and supported", there won't be a problem with using the very same doctype for HTML 6. --Dao
