--If you want a markup to propagate HTML formatted email then the modular nature of XHTML will allow you to build a DTD for that usage, and documents valid for that DTD will work on browsers.-- Wait, how would /that/ work? I mean, I know that HTML email is pretty unpopular among the hard-core computer users, although I, for one, would like to see it garner more use... My question is, and maybe this is more something for the WG to consider, is how would you attach a DTD to an XHTML-formatted email file? What I fear is that each company will create their own DTD / Schema / Namespace / Whatever (I don't completely understand the terminology just yet) for their email clients, and then we'll be in a mess! MS Outlook users wouldn't be able to send xhtml email to Netscape Communicator users, and so on. That's my fear at least... it may not be rational. Daniel
