This has nothing to do with the specs. (The same problem exists in > XML.) That depends on the antecedent of "them". My request is that I be able to add proprietary markup to HTML documents, and have the *documents* be usable by text/html browsers. My own non-browser applications can make use of the proprietary markup. In other words, I wish to maintain the existing MUST IGNORE behavior of current, legacy HTML browsers. If I could use CSS or XSLT to style the proprietary markup for generic browsers, that would be gravy; but I at least don't want to go backwards in the support that I already have today for proprietary markup. -- ?Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo at metalab.unc.edu Java I/O 2nd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeaulait.org/books/javaio2/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596527500/ref=nosim/cafeaulaitA/
