I could care less about SGML rules..... >I LIKE <IMG SRC="x" SRC="y" SRC="n-1" "SRC="n" PICK-SRC=RANDOM> because nearly ALL existing browsers WORK with it --- which is the ENTIRE point here. DTD's or no, its a decent, usable idea. Maintaining HTML as a subset of SGML is not a goal of the WG charter NOR is it a goal of W3. If we head off vendors with ideas that are easy to implement, parse and author... and ideas that work with existing browsers..... somebody might listen......(personally I believe the vendors are listening). The other goal here is to keep the darn thing Readable to a human....... (it's bad enough W3 had to go ahead and create whole new C-style syntax for CSS). >---------- >From: Walter Ian Kaye[SMTP:boo@best.com] >Sent: Saturday, July 13, 1996 4:01 AM >To: www-html@w3.org >Subject: Re: a bad idea (fwd) > >At 7:22p -0700 07/12/96, MegaZone wrote: >>Once upon a time Marc Salomon shaped the electrons to say... >>>|<IMG SRC="x" SRC="y" SRC="n-1" "SRC="n" PICK=RANDOM> >>> >>>SGML won't allow multiple occurances of an attribute in an element.
