Somehow related to our (planned and ongoing) discussions on "working with Working Groups", I spent two half-day session with the HTML and CSS WGs (respectively) at their face-to-face meetings last week, for a bit of meet and greet. With the HTML WG, it ended up being actually a little more that saying hi, and we quickly discussed their timeline and objectives for both XHTML2 and the HTML4 Errata, both of which of interest to us: http://www.w3.org/2005/03/04-html-irc#T15-55-12 The transcript is imperfect but two important points are worth highlighting: - XHTML2 (with Xforms) will not work with DTDs (but we knew that already) - XHTML2 unlikely to be mature before end of summer at least - HTML4 errata low-priority mode, goal is to *not* have any normative change That gives us hints of how much time we have before real xml-mode in the markup validator becomes a problematic priority if not implemented, and gives us a think line to walk on for suggested erratas to HTML4, i.e any change we submit should be based on "clarification" rather than "fix" if we want to have a better chance to get them accepted by the WG. No formal liaison process established with either group yet, but I have hopes to build and maintain a good communication channel, at least. -- olivier
