Bill, regarding polyglot markup … Bill McCoy, Sun, 27 Jan 2013 07:25:51 -0800: > I agree with you that for those using XML of whatever flavor for their > core content, generating XHTML in creating EPUB is a good fit, since > by definition they will have XML-oriented toolchains in place. […] > But as Web/EPUB has become a more central output for many content > publishers, and with HTML5 having more semantic elements and means for > microdata / semantic inflection, there's been something of a trend > towards certain book publishers (at least) looking at (X)HTML as an > option for the core content structure not just as a generated output > format. This has been helped along by popular blogging platforms like > WordPress and Drupal having (X)HTML as their internal article storage > format, doesn't all this make polyglot XHTML5 seem like a good fit? E.g. as a "transition" format? -- leif halvard silli
