Is your concern about the version number (that is, would XHTML 1.5 or something like that make you happy) or just that both use the XHTML name? We could come up with all sorts of arguments why one spec or the other "deserves" the XHTML name more, but, seriously, that seems like a huge waste of time, and would quickly devolve into an unproductive flamewar. How about we just share the base language name, and distinguish different versions using version numbers? Regards, Maciej
