We aren't html working group. Our scope is different. We don't have the capability of putting in trash nothing done by others: you have a far too high opinion of yourself if you think this. I personally think that that XML rule is wrong, but this is not important. Anyway, it is a fact that the rule is against accessibility in the sense that it decrease the chance of a page to be rendered, so decrease its chance of accessibility (remember Voltaire: the best is sometimes enemy of the good)... WCAG should consider this and advise developer of this fact. Only if developers are sure that nothing can go wrong with validation, they should use application/xhtml+xml. Else, they must fall back on text/html, because it is useful to increase the chance of accessibility. Roberto Scano: This goes against other Working Group Activities and against existing Reccomandations. I think this working group cannot do it :-)
