<http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/struct/global.html#h-7.3> states that the <html> element only allows "lang", "dir" and "version" as attributes. This conflicts with the definition of HTMLHtmlElement <http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-DOM-Level-2-HTML-20030109/html.html#ID-33759296>. Note that this inherits from HTMLElement <http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-DOM-Level-2-HTML-20030109/html.html#ID-58190037> which defines an id, title, lang, dir and className DOM Attribute. Given that all elements inherit from HTMLElement this argument doesn't solely apply to the <html> element. Implementations also support these attributes on all elements. I suggest therefore that HTML 4.01 is updated to allow "id", "title", "lang", "dir" and "class" as content attributes on _all_ elements. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
