Dan Connolly, chair of the HTML working group has ruled that the 4.0 spec should strictly adhere to RFC2070 for the required treatment of the Q element which is used for excerpts that are inlined as part of a paragraph. My concern is that requiring browsers to insert quotation marks around the contents of each <Q>...</Q> element will strongly discourage authors from using this element.since as most browsers don't yet do this, they will have to include the quotatation marks in the content directly. Following Dan's ruling would then lead to doubled up quotation marks. Which in my opinion will put authors off. The following messages were sent to the HTML-WG: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-html-wg/1997OctDec/0265.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-html-wg/1997OctDec/0274.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-html-wg/1997OctDec/0280.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-html-wg/1997OctDec/0284.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-html-wg/1997OctDec/0285.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-html-wg/1997OctDec/0293.html Regards, -- Dave Raggett <dsr@w3.org> http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett phone: +44 122 578 2984 (or 2521) +44 385 320 444 (gsm mobile) World Wide Web Consortium (on assignment from HP Labs)
