> The main discrepancy is the ommision of %just from the following > elements: OL, UL, DIR, MENU, LI, BLOCKQUOTE, ADDRESS. This is a presentation attribute inheritance mechanism, and better suited for style sheets. In general we are trying to avoid adding new presentation attributes or elements now that style sheets have been accepted. > Also, the DIR and LANG attributes were deleted for the ADDRESS, > IMG, DIR, FORM, HEAD, HTML, IMG, LISTING, MENU, PLAINTEXT, XMP. This is still under discussion. Some of these elements are deprecated e.g. LISTING, PLAINTEXT and XMP, along with DIR and MENU. The document language is set by the HTTP Content-Language header or the corresponding META/HTTP-EQUIV element. Avoiding LANG on HEAD and HTML avoids the need for a conflict resolution procedure. As for the other elements, its still to early to say what the consensus will be in the HTML working group.
