i am interested in both backwards compatibility, as well as streamlining and refining forward looking recommendations... many of the issues upon which i have posted so far, have been forwarded to the HTML Coordination Group, in an attempt to discern where such reforms may be introduced in the HTML/XHTML roadmap. if we are drafting canonical HTML, then now is the time to correct the errors that already exist, rather than using backwards-compatibility as an excuse for non-action. if we are defining the baseline for future dialects of XML and XHTML, then now is the time to address such issues. according to the HTML WG's charter [http://www.w3.org/2007/03/HTML-WG-charter.html#deliverables] we are engaged in defining, quote A language evolved from HTML4 for describing the semantics of documents and applications on the World Wide Web. unquote evolution involves change, and implies forward movement, not replication of past mistakes. gregory. PS: maciej, may i suggest, that the next time you email someone to tell them they're not welcome here, that you send such a response directly to the poster, and not to the list. ---------------------------------------------------------------- CONSERVATIVE, n.
