Dear W3C HTML-group members ! Congratulations to Your concept for 'Modularization of XHTML' ! I have one suggestion to your recommendation from the point of a user, how writes today HTML documents fast and easy via an text editor. Please generate a second syntax for the use of CSS classes, which are assigned to an HTML element like e.g. 'td'. As my proposal this should use the same syntax as used in the CSS via the '.' operator. Example given for CSS class 'td.t1' Normal use: <td class="t1"> Shortcut: <td.t1> These should only be an optional shortcut for easier read- and write- ability of XHTML documents via an simple text editor. Please can You give me information if it would be possible to define such extended XHTML tags on the fly (without a real DTD) to make this extension possible and implementable in the various browsers. I will suggest to insert this as an addition to the XHTML 2.0 family and possible Your other - to web sites related - families. Looking forward to Your answer - many thanks and best regards Reinhard Häusler P.S.: I will send this mail as CC to some web browser developing companies and organizations (using the best fitting email address, which I found). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear CC recipients, please forward this email to a responsible person or mailing list, which can give me respond to the short letter to web browser developers below. Thank You and regards Reinhard Häusler ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear web browser developers, please give me also Your estimation of the possibility to implement the request described in this email. I'm very interested to here, if it is easily possible to implement this - as it now seems to be for me.
