The following comments apply to all developing CSS documents: modules, profiles, test suites, and miscellany. (Well, they also apply to finalized documents, but there is little that we can do about those.) HTML4 has an SGML declaration that specifies that names fold to upper case. Consequently, an 'ID' attribute value specification of "AnElement" produces the attribute value "ANELEMENT". Consequently, the correct fragment identifier in a URI reference for an element with that 'ID' attribute value specification is "#ANELEMENT", not "#AnElement". The solutions for CSS documents written in HTML4 are two. The documents could use 'ID' values keyed in upper case or the documents could enter new versions as XHTML. Arguably, the whole notion that HTML is SGML is false, but to conform to the Recommendations of the W3C itself, something must change. -- Etan Wexler <mailto:ewexler@stickdog.com>
