The draft says: "Conformance checkers are exempt from detecting errors that require interpretation of the author's intent for example, while a document is non-conforming if the content of a blockquote element is not a quote, conformance checkers do not have to check that blockquote elements only contain quoted material" I don't think the HTML marketplace is well-served by a notion of conformance that depends on author's intent. Please change the draft so that document conformance does not depend on author's intent at all. I don't have a complete change proposal; anybody who supports my change request will please help me find all the relevant places in the spec and suggest replacements. I'm not sure if it's worthwhile specifying anything about HTML in terms of author's intent, but if it is, let's give it a different name. Perhaps a document is _clearly marked up_ if it's conforming and its markup is consistent with the author's intent. for reference: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/ 24 August 2007 1.218 Fri Aug 24 22:56:42 2007 UTC -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
