I may be (almost) alone in arguing the point, but I'm not outnumbered. Roberto: Ok. Matt: It's also not about "hobbyists". It's about most of the authors on the Web -- and the vast majority of existing authoring tools. You're painting this as a small problem with some bad actors. Since it's been my full-time job for the last three years to fix problems like this, I can guarantee you that it is far more widespread. In fact, it's the status quo. It's simply not something we can legislate away. Roberto: But at the same time we cannot help who develop without respect of DTD. Matt: Roberto, you do know that I'm the staff contact of the PFWG, right? I've also spoken with one of the HTML WG co-chairs, and while he agrees that it's a tough problem, he does recognize that this WG isn't here to enforce his WG's specs, but to aid accessibility. I will also take this to PF, but I think you're just shopping for someone who supports your point of view. Roberto: I don't make shopping, i'm try to explain that we are going against web standards. And there are other web professional that have supported this. Matt: And again, silence is not authorization. How many times do I have to say that? Roberto: Sometimes silence means to don't want to follOw a problem... Matt: Take it to AU. That's where discussion of authoring tool output belongs. In fact, I've done it for you. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2005AprJun/0074.html Roberto: And i've supported it. - m [Messaggio troncato.
