ACTION: ChrisW discuss XHTML name coordination with XHTML 2 WG in the Hypertext CG -- http://www.w3.org/2007/08/16-html-wg-minutes#item06 He did that a week or two ago, though if he sent mail to this WG afterward, I missed it... > What was the outcome of that meeting? The XHTML 2 WG chairs clarified their decision record http://www.w3.org/2007/06/20-xhtml-minutes#item05 In addition to "RESOLUTION: We agree that the HTML WG should not use the XHTML name to refer to their XML serialization" the XHTML 2 WG's argument includes the points discussed above it; in particular, "they should not call it XHTML unless they use modularization" "All existing XHTMLs have been modular, and HTML5 is not." and "problem of confusion ... I've already seen it amongst developers." I'm interested to know what the editors (Ian, Dave) and other WG members think of those arguments. I'm inclined to leave this to the editor's discretion, as it doesn't directly impact interoperability; it's not the sort of thing that shows up in software, markup, and test cases. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ gpg D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
