In order to avoid confusion, I suggest regarding the 'X' in "XML" and "XHTML" just as a cool letter (as in "X11", "Mac OS X" and "Windows XP") and regarding "extensible" as a positive buzzword that can be abbreviated as 'X' rather that taking the extensibility too literally. > Can't people create their own <obj /> element in their page that > would be an <object /> element?

With XML, you can invent element names as you go, but you shouldn't expect programs written by others to do anything useful with your homegrown elements without prior agreement. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://www.iki.fi/hsivonen/
