Please refrain from making wildly opinionated and loaded comments such as this without logically backing up your argument Kristof. Many on this list and off this list would view a number of HTML5 features as "arbitrary experimentation". "Experimentation" is fine and "arbitrary" is a matter of opinion when applied in broad strokes. The important thing is to discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each decision without resorting to wording such as yours. > I > would rather wait for a consistency checker to exist, at least approximately > and conceptually, before having alternate content streams in HTML.

Perhaps if you could outline exactly what your consistency checker would check, then we could make some progress on whether or not it is achievable. Do you think that we should also have a consistency checker for natural language used in a web page? Is your idea of a valid consistency checker to solve the Natural Language Processing (NLP) problem first? -- manu -- Manu Sporny President/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Bitmunk 3.0 Website Launches http://blog.digitalbazaar.com/2008/07/03/bitmunk-3-website-launches
