I've been an HTML enthusiast and developer for quite a while now, and am overjoyed to see the changes you've made in XHTML1.1. As a constant advocate of logical over visual formatting, it seems you're moving in all the right directions. I do have a question, though. :-) I've noticed that the name attribute of the a tag has been removed. Without it, what is the preferred way to do within-page linking? I would think it would involve the ID attribute defined in the Core set (which would actually be great, if it allowed you to link to -any- tag, rather than just the 'a' tag), but I don't see a clear definition. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. I worked for several years on a commercial HTML editor, and constantly ran into problems with HTML newbies confusing the a-name and a-href tags, so moving the anchor side of the link off to another tag and attribute is a wonderful idea. I just wanted to make sure you haven't nixed the functionality altogether. :-) Thank you! --Cliff Biffle DISCLAIMER: These aren't my thoughts. They're yours. Mwa. Mwa ha. Mwa ha ha ha.
