Hi Chris, Thanks for your comment. See below... > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Lilley [mailto:chris@w3.org] > Sent: 25 March 2004 00:19 <snip/> > I didn't see a status of this document or where to send feedback, so I am sending it here. RI: Try the section entitled "Document status and use" at the end of the introduction. ;-) > The section on doctype switching between quirks mode and standards mode should indicate which doctypes provide which result (quirks or standards) for which browsers (platform and version). There is some agreement here, but for example some browsers tresat XHTML 1.0 transitional as quirks mode while others treat it as standards mode. The current text seems to indicate that any DOCTYPE is always sufficient to switch on standards mode. RI: Note the intended vagueness in "A file with an appropriate DOCTYPE declaration should normally be rendered in standards mode by recent versions of most browsers." > A little more detail on what browsers were tested and what the results were would be helpful. RI: Since this tutorial is about character encodings, I didn't want to get into great about this topic here - just point out that the presence of DOCTYPES can affect the results. What I should do (and actually intended to do but omitted it) is point to the further reading in the article "Serving XHTML 1.0"[1], which provides links that address your question. RI: One other thing I could mention is the need for a *full* DOCTYPE.
