Rhys,
We are now making progress on XHTML 2. You will see a new draft out shortly
as a result of the face to face.

XHRML Version in DIAL

Hello everyone,
One of the things that has slowed work on the DIAL specification is the
difficulty that the XHTML group has had in completing XHTML 2.
We have, in the past, discussed whether or not we should move DIAL to be
based on a combination of XHTML 1.x and XForms. Last time we discussed
this, we conculded that XHTML 2 would still be fine, as long as it
continued to make progress towards a recommendation.
Since that progress has not happened, and we need to make progress with
DIAL, I'm wondering about revisiting the decision on XHTML 2. My
understanding is that the XHTML group is considering a revision of XHTML 1
that would enable use of XForms.
In previous discussions, I have had the sense that such a move, while
unfortunately, might be acceptable to the group. This mail is intended to
start discussion on this topic again.
I would welcome comments and thoughts on this topic.
Best wishes
Rhys
