How granular is XHTML modularization? I've looked over the relevant documents and the schema module implementations, but I must be missing something. I would like to define a subset (not sure if that is a loaded word on this list) of XHTML for use in instant messaging, specifically for use over Jabber/XMPP. The results of my work so far are here: http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0071.html Please ignore the schema section of that document -- fixing it up is why I'm here. :) As you can see from that document, the Jabber context is quite foreign to traditional XHTML applications. We use an XML streaming technology to send XML elements (not complete documents) between logical endpoints, so parts of the Structure Module (<head/> and <title/) do not apply. Given that XHTML-based formatting will be used to read and generate structured content on the fly (this is instant messaging, not document publishing), we feel we do not need some of the elements defined in the Text Module, some of the elements in the List Module, some core attributes, etc. Is this possible or allowable in XHTML modularization, or do we need to use entire modules without modification? If it's allowed, do you recommend that I include the relevant bits from the W3 schemas in order to build schemas for what I'm calling XHTML-IM? If it's not allowed, how shall I proceed? We would dearly like to use open standards rather than RTF or somesuch nonsense if at all possible.
