Why is it important for a style sheet to tell what it attempts to comply with? Isn't it more interesting to ask "Does this style sheet comply with CSS 2.1?"? In that case, it is the user of the validator who should give the desired CSS version as additional input. Compare this with how DTD validation and RELAX NG validation work. I think the RELAX NG model with the validation process taking two independent inputs (the schema and the document) answers more useful question than the DTD model in which the document provides its own schema. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
