... >W3C published the first Working Draft of WD-html-in-xml in 5 December >1998, and it already stated this point. You had given the chance >to comment on it before we publish the XHTML 1.0 Working Draft. Erm...no one from W3C (or should that be w3c?) bothered to post the announcement to this list. Brian Wilson pointed us to it on the 21st of December. It does bother me that I infer it would have been fine to comment on the 05 December WD, but it's moot with the XHTML WD? Humph. We're still commenting on *CSS1*, with CSS2 already a recommendation, and CSS3 just around the corner. The two sentences fom the 5 December WD: "XHTML documents must use lower case for all HTML element and attribute names. This difference is necessary because XML is case-sensitive e.g. <li> and <LI> are considered to be different tags." On use of "must": "In this specification, the word "must" is to be interpreted as a mandatory requirement on the implementation or on Strictly Conforming XHTML Documents, depending upon the context." It seems that discussion of this "mandatory requirement" was made moot by the use of the single word: "must".
