I've just examined all changes to the spec on June 3rd (svn diff -r3180:3187 source), and I wasn't able to find a change like the one you describe. Could you be more specific? Perhaps you're referring to r3183, which adds this text: "Authors must not use elements, attributes, and attribute values that are not permitted by this specification or other applicable specifications." Note that this is an /author/ conformance requirement, not a /user agent/ conformance requirement. -- Edward O'Connor
