Re: Comments on section 6.2 of ITS 2.0

i am sorry to interject so late into this discussion but
from following the mail thread i feel i must raise one point for 
clarification.

the current draft of the html 5 spec state the following in sect1.6 
<http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/introduction.html#html-vs-xhtml>

"The second concrete syntax is the XHTML syntax, which is an application 
of XML. When a document is transmitted with an XML MIME type 
<http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/infrastructure.html#xml-mime-type>, 
such as |application/xhtml+xml 
<http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/iana.html#application/xhtml+xml>|, 
then it is treated as an XML document by Web browsers, to be parsed by 
an XML processor. Authors are reminded that the processing for XML and 
HTML differs; in particular, even minor syntax errors will prevent a 
document labeled as XML from being rendered fully, whereas they would be 
ignored in the HTML syntax. This specification defines version 5.1 of 
the XHTML syntax, known as "XHTML5.1"."

the html spec explicitly reminds authors that processing for  XML and 
HTML differ,
this is also true for ITS.
to be compatible with the xml processing requirement above should the 
ITS2.0 spec not require all XHTML document to be processed as xml.


as such if it is XHTML (which in turn is an xml dialect) then should not 
its:* be used only and if it is HTML then only its-* attibutes should be 
present.
