[Note: I posted the following January 28 to www-html (and a followup yesterday), but because of a clarification by Dan Connolly, I realized this was the more appropriate venue]. The xHTML Recommendation, section 3.2, User Agent Conformance[1], item 9 says that Form Feeds (ASCII 12) should be treated as whitespace. But according to the XML 1.0's Character Range[2], form feeds are not legal. XT chokes on documents containing them, as does nsgmls -wxml. If xHTML 1.0 is supposed to be well-formed XML, how can it even allow form feed characters, much less recommend how they should be treated? /Jelks [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#uaconf [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#charsetsReceived on Friday, 18 February 2000 21:27:22 GMT
