Re: Updates to XHTMLMIME document

Shane:

 This is Yam. I appreciate your efforts to update XHTMLMIME.

 I just want to add one comment.

 Originally, in 2002, this informative document was coined, mainly in
order to distinguish HTML and XHTML from MIME type perspective.
 It is still an active agenda (with more headaches...), however, now we
have increasing need to distinguish XHTML1 and XHTMLBasic 1.1, or even
XHTMLBasic 1.0 and XHTMLBasic 1.1.
 It is apparent that many XHTMLBasic 1.0-capable devices cannot consume
full XHMTL1 document.
 I assume you will update many XHTMLBasic 1.0 references to XHMTLBasic
1.1 one, in your "this week" edits.

 Considering a) the first priority is still between HTML and XHTML, b)
profile use is "MAY", my proposal is xa) use XHTMLBasic 1.1 in the main
text in a consistent manner, xb) create new Appendix on how to identify
XHTMLBasic 1.x in XHTML language family using profile with concrete
profile examples.

 Hope it raises your awareness on this issue.

 Cheers,
