Hi,
This is a QA Review comment for "XHTML 2.0"

The specification says:
"The user agent must combine this list with its own
list of acceptable media types by taking the
intersection, and then use the resulting list as the
field value of the accept request header when
requesting the resource using HTTP."
This will lead to difficult corner cases, which means a lot of test cases.
1. HTTP has precedence as defined in specifications.
2. How to resolve content/types preference with different q values
"A user agent must imitate similar behavior when using
other methods than HTTP."
What is *imitate* in this context?
"For instance, when accessing files in a local filestore,
<p src="logo" srctype="image/png, image/jpeg"> might cause
the user agent first to look for a file logo.png, and then
for logo.jpg."
Do you mean an application which will handle a "file://" for example? Many browsers interpret the content of these files depending of their extensions if given.
In case of conflicts, what MUST be the behaviour of the user agent?
<p src="logo.svg" srctype="image/png, image/jpeg">
