Specifying HTML5 in terms of SGML would be pointless, because 1) Real browsers don't use SGML parsers. 2) SGML doesn't specify error what to do in error cases. Web- compatible error-recovery is a must. 3) Even as a validation formalism SGML is totally inadequate. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
