I don't want to quote John's rant about XHTML, but I don't think he sees it as a logical step from forgiving HTML to unforgiving XML. While I'm not a computer programmer, I've been a mark-up coder for over 20 years now, from TeX to HTML to XML to XHTML. I don't think it's the W3C's job to worry too much about the user interface. It is the W3C's job to develop and publicize standards and "let the market" worry about the user interface. Heck, I use Emacs and Arachnophilia to code my pages, so I don't really worry too much about that! Laurie Mann Mark-up Geek http://www.dpsinfo.com
