Now consider the following: the markup was illegal, so the user agent has to do some repair. Is the Web content what the UA received over the wire, or what the result of the repair is? In UAAG 1.0, we ended up saying: content is generally what the user agent retrieves, but it may be subject to repair. We are interested in the result, which is the document object. _ Ian -- Ian Jacobs (ij@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 831 457-2842 Cell: +1 917 450-8783
