Therefore, if you are using -- for example -- Transitional markup in XHTML, you are in violation of WCAG 11.1. Which, I think, is part of the silly implications of WCAG 11.1's specific wording -- it was written to mean "use HTML 4.0, not HTML 3.2," and it fails badly when you attempt to apply it to XHTML 1.0 and 1.1. I agree with Tina's interpretation of what 11.1 is saying -- I think this is an example of a poorly written checkpoint. -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain http://idyllmtn.com Author, CSS in 24 Hours http://cssin24hours.com Inland Anti-Empire Blog http://blog.kynn.com/iae Shock & Awe Blog http://blog.kynn.com/shock
