The more general use case is that validating a MicroXML document against an appropriate schema would ensure that the document was valid HTML5 (in the HTML syntax). I find this attractive, because I find the complexities of HTML5 syntax repugnant. This would enable me to write a toolchain that generates HTML5 without having to worry about all these complexities. Another mechanism to avoid these complexities is just to transform the (Micro)XML into HTML5 at the final stage. If people are happy with that, then I don't think MicroXML needs any goals relating to HTML5, and it wouldn't need a DOCTYPE declaration. James
