It can be a different document. In general, I don't have a problem with coding conventions. They exist for a variety of other languages, such as C++, Java, PHP, etc. and even Canonical XML exists for XML. Perhaps it would be useful to produce a Canonical HTML specification. However, I would recommend that if such a document is produced, all guidelines should ideally be backed up with good justification, and not simply be a matter of personal opinion. For example, I would object to a guideline that required trailing slashes for empty elements since the only valid justification for it is based on personal preferences. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
