----- Messaggio originale -----
Da: "David Dorward"<david@dorward.me.uk>
I'd hope that nobody is actually doing that - there are plenty of user
agents other then IE which don't render application/xhtml+xml
documents.
Roberto:
Yes, but xhtml should be served correctly if supported by UA: this means that the same page will conform to two different SC depending from the UA used by the user?
David:
I don't see why the use of <applet> and <embed> would require that
section to be renamed (although I agree that Markup Techniques is
better). Both elements exist just as much in XHTML 1.0 as XHTML 4.01
(i.e. <applet> is only in Transitional and <embed> doesn't appear at
all).
Roberto:
<embed> is a netscape proprietary tag, like <blink> and also <marquee> (Microsoft)
David:
Ditto, but there is also the "Never prompt a new window ever, let the
user decide when they want one" school of thought, for which there are
some good accessibility arguments:

Roberto:
Yes, but script used for new windows can blocked also by popup blocker, target attribute cannot.
