Most of the books available and the practices deployed in Web agencies right now are around XHTML 1.0. Validating the document as XHTML 5 will create more errors than XHTML 1.0. There are things which are not allowed by XHTML 5 such as "meta http-equiv". If we validate with something which creates more errors, we are likely to discourage people. Plus html5 is a moving target which makes it difficult for web agencies having a contractual engagement with a customer. There's a need of a stability when validity is one of the requirements of the contract. That's the social part of validation. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.Received on Thursday, 11 December 2008 16:39:01 GMT
