I'm curious, though, what the actual benefit would be for the industry. It isn't nice to (implicitly) ask people to jump through additional hoops in order to be considered a "Web pro" if those additional hoops don't have a technical effect. Would the profile be something that a source code pretty-printer would produce or something that conformance checkers would be expected to check? I mean: If you write Java, you can standardize on an indent style but generally people don't expect to have programs that check if the indent style is being adhered to but instead people are expected to use a feature in an IDE that automatically reindents the source consistently according to the chosen indent style. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
