.. and the most coherent argument so far was that of Chris Wilson's: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Apr/0612.html Where (skipping over the length of a small book) he presents it at the end: "In short, I'm not that positive that HTML 5 will be the time we get it right for all time" So, let's call this one "(realistic) fear of not achieving perfection". But.. correct me if I am wrong, wasn't the quirks/standards mode switch primarily for CSS behavior, which is blissfully orthogonal to the overall direction of this group? If we cast aside the box model changes, introduced by the switch, what _HTML_ changes were introduces that weren't backward or forward compatible? :DG<
