I don't see any UA conformance criteria for the type="" content attribute anywhere in the obsolete section. Am I missing something? The only conformance criteria I see regarding the <li> element's "type" attribute is in a style sheet block in the rendering section. It's not really anything special about the type="" attribute, it's just part of the rendering rules, just like the fact that it is display:list-item. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
