For generic documents HTML is fine. The general trend on the W3C's mailing lists is that HTML is now frozen, and any talk of new features is merely pushed over to the XML forums. There might be a "cleanup" spec, possibly denoted 4.x, but the strict DTD covers a more-or-less ideal HTML language specification (if you add CSS2, W3-DOM, ECMAScript and RDF, perhaps, but still). I strongly doubt there will be another specification; all that will happen is that people will promptly forget that the deprecated elements ever existed once the newer technologies are implemented. -- Stephanos Piperoglou -- sp249@cam.ac.uk ------------------- All I want is a little love and a lot of money.
