This mailing list is predicated on the assumption that text/html is worth improving as a means of delivering content to Web browsers. The founding materials of this WG seem to make a specific effort to sooth XML stake holders that we aren't stepping on the toes of XML in other contexts. Moreover, individual participants seem to hold a whole spectrum of opinions on the relationship of HTML and XML. I don't think the context of this mailing list is sufficient to determine where you are on the XML vs. text/html opinion spectrum. > I'm proposing that given this input: > > <o:p><![CDATA[x]]></o:p> > > HTML5 would treat that as: > > <o:p>x/o:p> Thanks. On the face of it, it seems to me that making <![CDATA[x]]> mean different things depending on whether the parent element name has a colon in it would confuse the ViewSourceClan (although I can appreciate the suggestion as a fallback hack). -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
