XHTML Modularization hasn't been released as an official recommendation, so
I was surprised to read that XHTML Basic 1.0, which depends on
Modularization, has.

Being such a standards enthusiast, naturally I converted a couple of my
pages to Basic right away to try it out. It seems that most of my pages
would
already be XHTML Basic, except for my standard page footer. My usual
footer separates my name and e-mail address from the body text with an
<hr />, an element that has been consigned to the Legacy module.

There's a small problem with Basic Tables in the XHTML Modularization.
According to section 5.6.1, TD can have a scope of "row" or "col", but TH
can have a scope of "row", "col", "rowgroup", or "colgroup". Obviously an
oversight, since there are now rowgroups or colgroups in XHTML Basic 1.0
(the <tbody> and <colgroup> elements don't exist).

Running the WDG (www.htmlhelp.com) validator on a XHTML Basic 1.0 document
returned a whole buch of errors in the W3C's DTD, mostly related to a
missing "OMITTAG NO":
