Hello dear HTML Editors.


1. Thanks

First of all thanks for again doing such a great work.


2. XHTML Schema Driver for XHTML Basic

May I kindly request that you also add an XHTML Schema Driver for XHTML Basic?
I know that XML Schema is considered to be somewhat "heavy-weight" and 
therefor not appropriate for all fields XHTML Basic is used at.

But for instance, we use XHTML Basic as document authoring language, 
transforming it using XSLT into XHTML 1.1.
Being able to use XHTML Schema with XHTML Basic would greatly enhance our 
work, I think.


3. D.5.12. XHTML 1.1 Content Model

The first documentation of the second annotation says:
"XHTML has three basic content models:

          Inline.mix;  character-level elements
          Block.mix;   block-like elements, eg., paragraphs and lists
          Flow.mix;    any block or inline elements"
Shouldn't the semicolons be removed? I find them confusing. I think they are 
left-overs from the DTD, where parameter entities like %Inline.mix; were 
used, aren't they?


4. References

Why are References like XHTML Basic or APPROACH normative? Shouldn't they 
rather be informative (for XHTML Basic at least as long as it isn't defined 
by xhtml m12n schema)?


5. Link to download the Schema files

I missed a link to download all the schema files at once, or at least a list 
of links to each of them.
I downloaded the non-normative ZIP archive to get these, luckily that ZIP did 
not just contain the documentation of the TR but also the schema files.



Kind regards,
