Hello,
I thought the attached message could be of interest in this list.
I think XHTML Basic should include hr, sup and sub elements.
I also think XHTML Strict should allow to define target attribute at form
elements.
I also think W3C pages should promote these well accepted standards by using
them at their published pages. Most HTML 4.01 and XHTML Transitional can be
easily upgraded to XHTML Basic or XHTML Strict with a proper CSS.
I accept comments on these issues.

Hello,
I was wondering ... when W3C pages (at least the Home Page at a beginning) could
be supposed to validate as XHTML Basic?
It seems (according to the messages on this list) that XHTML Strict renders OK
at most well known browsers. :-)
It would be really nice if MOST (ALL is a bit difficult, I suspect) W3C pages
could be XHTML Basic.
I promote XHTML Basic for most of my pages. When impossible (inputs whose type
is file, hr, sup, sub, nested tables, ...), I suggest XHTML Strict. When
impossible (target in other windows, ...), I suggest XHTML Transitional. I think
this is the best way to improve accessibility. All layout rendered by CSS.
Shouldn't be?
Browsers will not adhere these well known specs unless they are successfully
promoted.
P.D: I think it's a mistake XHTML Basic can't define hr, sup nor sub elements
:-( They should be there, anyway.
Best regards.
