Hi Jim, it is most disappointing to see that no-one responded to your inquiry. I am now unfortunately in a similar situation, I found that a new Wiki web site concerned with W3C technology uses non-compliant XHTML all over the site and asked whether this could be fixed. The response I got was [...] Unfortunately we didn't write the Wiki engine. The whole point of using Wiki software is to make publishing easier, so the last thing I want to do is start fixing problems in other people's software. However, I do believe there is an enormous space here for a really well done Wiki engine (the one we are using was our fifth try to find one that suited our needs), so maybe one day we will have time to fix the problem. [...] I am not sure how to proceed. Did you find a good way to approach bloglines? Or maybe other public-evangelist list members could suggest an appropriate response that would help encouraging them to use proper XHTML or HTML? -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
