Except that this would be a significant and incompatible change from HTML 4.0. -Chris Wilson -----Original Message----- From: Alex Blewitt [mailto:Alex.Blewitt@ioshq.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 1999 5:09 AM To: www-html@w3.org Subject: XHTML I do not particularly like the style of checked="checked" for input types. It seems a little bit of overkill to have the repetition of 'checked' in the HTML source. Surely a better approach would be to define a binary ENTITY type: <!ENTITY % Boolean "(yes|no)" "no"> and then use that for checked and other things <!ATTLIST input checked %Boolean; #IMPLIED disabled %Boolean; #IMPLIED readonly %Boolean; #IMPLIED > The boolean type could then be used in other boolean-style places, such as multiple/disabled/selected Does this not make far more sense than having a per-element specific value?
