[1] The XHTML Style sheet generates the following html tag:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
The HTML Compatibility Guideline C.7 states:
"Use both the lang and xml:lang attributes when specifying the
language of an element."
Should the XHTML Style sheet be modified to add the xml:lang
attribute?
[2] The XHTML Style sheet generates empty elements without a space
before the trailing / and >,
e.g., <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="http://www.w3.org/StyleSheets/TR/W3C-WD.css"/>,
<hr/>, <br/>
The HTML Compatibility Guideline C.2 states:
"Empty Elements Include a space before the trailing / and > of
empty elements, e.g. <br />, <hr /> and
<img src="karen.jpg" alt="Karen" />. Also, use the minimized tag
syntax for empty elements, e.g. <br />,
as the alternative syntax <br></br> allowed by XML gives
uncertain results in many existing user agents."
Should the XHTML Style sheet be modified to add a space before the
trailing / and > in empty elements?
[3] The XHTML Style sheet generates anchor tags that contain the shape
attribute without the coords attribute.
e.g., <a rel="disclosure"
href="http://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/37584/status" shape="rect"> ....
</a>
<a
href="http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/#sec-Disclosur
e" shape="rect"> ... </a>
Based on my understanding of the XHTML Client-Side Image Map Module
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-xhtml2-20021211/mod-csImgMap.html>, having
a shape attribute without the
coords attribute is meaningless.
Should the XHTML Style sheet be modified to not insert a shape
attribute without the corresponding coords
attribute?
