M. Hedlund suggested using DTD to describve the capabilities of various broswers in displaying different versions of HTML. A variation on the theme would be to descibe it in terms of deltas from some preset DTD (W3C's ?) as maintained at some repository. Maintaining the DTDs as diffs from the base version. Content can be negotiated based on the version control numbers. Furthermore this data can be distributed, and it is easy to tell when you need to update you local copy. Based on the version trees it it seems possible to derive sensible fallback strategies. - Jon Tidswell Disclaimer: I think my thoughts are my own, and I believe my writings are too.
