A formal comment on the "XHTML 2.0 W3C Working Draft 5 August 2002": The line element in XHTML 2.0 is a good thing. It removes one of the last presentational elements in HTML. However, as long as XHTML 2.0 is breaking backwards compatibility by eliminating img, rewriting frames, and more; I see no reason to keep br. I suggest throwing it out completely. That can only simplify the spec and implementations. -- +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Elliotte Rusty Harold | elharo@metalab.unc.edu | Writer/Programmer | +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | XML in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition (O'Reilly, 2002) | | http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xian2/ | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0596002920/cafeaulaitA/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Read Cafe au Lait for Java News: http://www.cafeaulait.org/ | | Read Cafe con Leche for XML News: http://www.cafeconleche.org/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+
