Given that Atom or another spec could as easily have allowed any flow content, or a <section>, or an <article>, I'm not sure how to change the spec here. My intention wasn't to disallow an element from being allowed where another spec says it is explictly allowed (or required). My intention was just to allow <html> to be used in other vocabularies where those vocabularies just specified a generic inclusion point. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
