That's (mostly) irrelevant to XHTML2. It's an issue authors should deal with as they wish. If you think XML is an acronym, mark it up as such. If not, don't. Who is right doesn't matter for the language itself; that's an issue for authors. The only problem is in defining the meaning of the attribute values, in which case the most common definition probably should be suggested. (If anything at all; I'm not yet convinced that defining the terms would benefit more than confuse and upset people who adamantly disagree. Since they aren't element names, being vague may not be a terrible idea if the values are adopted.) -- John Lewis
