I really appreciate the extension of XHTML 1.1 with the role attribute module, I also had no trouble extending my DTD, alas as soon as I start using the role attribute in XHTML code, W3C validation fails. I wonder if that is because the DTD was incomplete and role attributes weren't added to existing elements anywhere, or if the validator can't handle the role module yet (though extending XHTML 1.1 with the target module was no issue)? My customized DTD is at http://www.hateparade.com/dtd/xhtml-target-role.dtd - alas I had to remove role attributes in XHTML from navigational UL elements again after validation failed. The pages are served with the XHTML mime type if the HTTP header supports it or if pages are requested by the W3C validator. Some irritating aspect of xhtml-role-1.mod was "XHTML Role Attribute Module does nothing, since role is not incorporated in any elements content model as part of this module" - is that the reason for the validation failure? If it's not incorporated in any elements content model here, where is it then? xhtml-role-qname-1.mod is also vague about this. So would appreciate if anybody has a working and validating real world implementation of this module - that's what Working Drafts promote, don't they? Also I wonder which channel is the best to receive any response? I mailed about 3-4 weeks ago to the working group members listed in the draft, then I mailed twice to the www-html list, and still haven't got a reply... Best regards, Martin
