I initially created the HTML Design Principles Editor's Draft from the Wiki document Maciej, and several others, including me, drafted and expected I would no longer be editing the document afterwards. As such, I haven't paid much attention to the discussion around the document. I just made a small update to "Universal Access" by removing "when possible" hoping that will alleviate some concerns. The document is by the way located here: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/principles/ I think Henri raised an important point earlier as well about minimizing the differences between a DOM generated from an HTML5 document and one from an XHTML5 document. That would be nice to capture in the design principles. I'm not sure what text to use for it though. Here's something I just made up: === Similarity of Serializations Keep the various serializations of the language as close to each other as possible as to minimize effort to switch from one to the other. This will also help for both serializations to be supported in user agents with as much shared code as possible. Example: The HTML (text/html) parser puts elements in the http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml namespace in the DOM for compatibility with the XML syntax of HTML 5. === The other thing that seems a bit weird about the current document is that two principles cover several paragraphs where the others are just a few sentences. I don't think this is problematic though and I suppose we can always fix that if desired in an update of the document. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
