This sounds a lot like SelfHTML to me, which is a guide for authors and at the same time tries to report on browser difficulties with any HTML, CSS etc. elements. Unfortunately only the German and French editions are being maintained, while the English one was closed down due to lack of interest. You could look into that. There are certainly other similar guides as well. > A second, smaller document detailing the > changes from HTML 4 would also be helpful to them. A human-readable diff between major versions of a spec doesn't seem to be common in other W3C specs. Looking at e.g. WSDL 2.0 and XSD 1.1, the latter one summarises some differences to XSD 1.0, while the former one doesn't reference its predecessor at all. To me it seems like a good idea to have some sort of comparison available to the older/deprecated version of a spec. Josef
