Hello, The Modularization of XHTML (http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/CR-xhtml-modularization-20001020/) defines the attributes for the table element in section 5.6.1 Basic Tables Module (http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/CR-xhtml-modularization-20001020/abstract_modules .html#s_simpletablemodule). This section says that there is a width attribute for the table element. However, the DTD in F.3.5.1 (http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/CR-xhtml-modularization-20001020/dtd_module_defs. html#a_module_Basic_Tables) does not specify a width attribute. My question: which is right, is width an attribute of the table element or not? Since an author can use the width property, having a width element seems redundant. However, when I look at Modularization of XHTML(tm) in XML Schema, Draft 9 (http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-xhtml-m12n-schema-20021209/) the section on the basic tables module (http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-xhtml-m12n-schema-20021209/schema_module_defs. html#sec_D.4.4.) contains not only the width attribute but many attributes not in the Modularization of XHTML, such as border, cellpadding, and cellspacing. I wonder why attributes not in the first modularization are in the one with XML Schema? Can anyone help me understand which attributes are valid?
