By the way, here are some other specific issues potentially present in bug 7034 which, if they were themselves the title of a bug, would likely result in a clear resolution: "Presentational elements and attributes should all be made conforming" "& should be allowed to appear unescaped in attribute values" It seems clear to me that addressing these points is necessary to satisfy your request, and they seem extremely clear and reasonably focused. But based on what you have said in the bug so far, addressing these two points does not seem to be sufficient to satisfy you. So it would be useful to know what else is at issue. Incidentally, I think I would personally agree with both of the two specific points above. Regards, Maciej
