Here are what may be minor typos in the last call XHTML Basic [1] "work in progress." Please feel free to ignore these suggestions if they are of no use to you. A section number is followed by a paragraph number, then a quote, and then my idea of an improvement. Abstract par. 1 features; for example, features, for example, 1.1 par 1 "...HTML 4 was designed for large devices, overlapping windows/frames menus, mouse input pointing device, high powered CPU, large power supply." could read: HTML 4 was designed for large devices, overlapping windows, frames, menus, a mouse input pointing device, a high-powered CPU, and a large power supply. or: HTML 4 was designed for large devices with overlapping windows, frames, menus, a mouse input pointing device, a high-powered CPU, and a large power supply. 1.1 par 1 full fledge full fledged 1.1 par 2 various HTML subset various HTML subsets 1.2 par 3 "...The fact that most content developers are familiar with HTML makes it appropriate as a host language, that include markup modules from other languages using the methods described in "Building XHTML Modules" [XHTMLMOD]." could read: The fact that most content developers are familiar with HTML makes it appropriate as a host language, given that it may include markup modules from other languages using the methods described in "Building XHTML Modules" [XHTMLMOD]. 1.2 par 4 , fixed set , a fixed set 1.2 par 4 "...Extending XHTML from a common and basic set of features, instead of many almost identical subsets or the too large set of functions in HTML 4, we think is good for interoperability on the Web, as well as scalability." could read: We think that extending XHTML from a common and basic set of features, instead of many almost identical subsets or the too-large set of functions in HTML 4, is good for interoperability on the Web, as well as for scalability. 1.2 par 4 content developers that get one content developers who get one 1.3.1 par 1 External Style sheets External style sheets 1.3.1 par 1 stylesheet style sheet [twice] 1.3.2 par 2 in a television in a television set [or in a television program?] 1.3.2 par 2 mehanism mechanism 1.3.3. par 1 headers headings 1.3.3 par 2 It is recommended that style sheets are used It is recommended that style sheets be used 1.3.4. par 1 (e.g (e.g., 1.3.5 par 1 Content developers are recommended to follow Content developers are encouraged to follow [or: It is recommended that content developers follow] 1.3.5 par 1 in Basic Tables Module in the Basic Tables Module 1.3.6 par 1 Frames depend on screen interface Frames depend on a screen interface [not sure there] 1.3.7 par 1 image-maps image maps Also: "...Limited input capabilities, for example no pointing device, has excluded image-maps." could read: Image maps are excluded because they require input capabilities like a pointing device. 4. par 1 as it is, - a as it is - a and: images -, the images - the 4. par 1 "...the intention with its simple design is to use it as a host language." could read: the intention of its simple design is for use as a host language. Also, I would omit the following sentence, because "most Web developers" use HTML and don't know about XHTML yet. "...It is natural that XHTML is the host language, since that is what most Web developers are used to." 4. par 2 develop for the XHTML Basic develop for XHTML Basic 4. par 2 user agents supports user agents support Reference: [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-xhtml-basic-20000210/ Best wishes for your project, -- Susan Lesch susan@textet.com http://www.textet.com/
