Hi Becky, With the due respect, ..

The roadmap is defining extensions, and thus they define new attributes, namespaces, etc. You *should be able to validate* against these extensions, which I hope we can do when PF finishes that piece of work. BTW, this argument of *validity against innovation*, I heard it many times, but replacing validity with accessibility. Very surprised to hear it in this forum, though. regards, carlos -- Dr Carlos A Velasco - http://access.fit.fraunhofer.de/ Fraunhofer-Institut für Angewandte Informationstechnik FIT [Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FIT)] Barrierefreie Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologie für Alle Schloss Birlinghoven, D53757 Sankt Augustin (Germany) Tel: +49-2241-142609 Fax: +49-2241-1442609
