The important thing is that we should say 'HTML 5' and then add a qualifyer after that to signify whether we refer to the format «based on XML» or the «custom format inspired by SGML». Again, you are attempting to make the spec more complex than it needs to be. When a client asks a web designer what technology they use for creating web sites, do you expect the designer to say: "well sir, we use 'HTML 5 text' on most of our sites, and sometimes we use 'HTML 5 application' on others". Wouldn't it be easier just to say "we use HTML5". And if the client asks "but what about that XHTML language I've heard so much about?" Then the designer can just say "Yes sir, we use XHTML5 as well, when necessary". -- Dean Edridge http://www.zealmedia.co.nz/
