Chas. replies: Can you give me specific accessibility problems caused by switching to xml:lang? On what browser or AT does the lang attribute make a difference? In fact, can you give us a specific list of which browsers/ATs have problems with which XHTML elements/attributes and how this affects accessibility? Why is XHTML strict or 1.1 a problem for accessibility? Specifics please. Also, with the exception of the xml:lang attribute, what is in "native" XHTML that isn't in "native" HTML? What part of "native" XHTML isn't understood by browsers/ATs? Thanks. Charles F. Munat Seattle, Washington
