The objections made on that thread to this idea are cogent. XHTML is just one particular XML document type, and once we start to add predefined entities, where do we stop? Any documents that contain undeclared character entities just aren't XML. If UAs want to accept non-well-formed XML, they can, but I personally see no point in XHTML5 unless it actually is XML. -- John Cowan <cowan@ccil.org> http://www.ccil.org/~cowan Today an interactive brochure website, tomorrow a global content management system that leverages collective synergy to drive "outside of the box" thinking and formulate key objectives into a win-win game plan with a quality-driven approach that focuses on empowering key players to drive-up their core competencies and increase expectations with an all-around initiative to drive up the bottom-line. --Alex Papadimoulis
