"Guidelines" from WAI groups have a tendency to be elevated to *law*. That's why WAI doing its own thing without a wide review is more dangerous than e.g. anti-presentationalists formulating their own guidelines. > I'd also prefer that there be some mechanism in the document itself to > indicate which sets of a given document conforms to.

I can see the point of e.g. oXygen schema PIs, but I still think standalone validators should err on the side of answering questions posed in the validator UI rather than answering questions posed by the document. I'm worried that validator modelines could become the next X-UA-Compatible for browsers. But then, denying validator modelines didn't stop X-UA-Compatible from being introduced. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
