Hi, I have discovered yesterday that the HTML 4.01 DTD had a surprising section http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/dtd.html#HTML.Reserved <!-- Reserved Feature Switch --> <!ENTITY % HTML.Reserved "IGNORE"> <!-- The following attributes are reserved for possible future use --> <![ %HTML.Reserved; [ <!ENTITY % reserved "datasrc %URI; #IMPLIED -- a single or tabular Data Source -- datafld CDATA #IMPLIED -- the property or column name -- dataformatas (plaintext|html) plaintext -- text or html --" > ]]> <!ENTITY % reserved ""> But these features being not part of the specification are not conformant per se. The validator reports them as invalid. GOOD! BUT there are other reserved attributes in the spec which are flagged as valid On table element datapagesize CDATA #IMPLIED -- reserved for possible future use -- On script element event CDATA #IMPLIED -- reserved for possible future use -- for %URI; #IMPLIED -- reserved for possible future use -- See the test case for validation. -- Karl Dubost - http://www.w3.org/People/karl/ W3C Conformance Manager, QA Activity Lead QA Weblog - http://www.w3.org/QA/ *** Be Strict To Be Cool ***
