> representing documents for a wide range of purposes across the World Wide > Web" seems to make it clear that, the current web-authors are exactly the > audience. My impression is that current "web authors" are generally people writing advertising copy (or web applications with a high branding content) for people who want a particular appearence. They are generally not writing for the World Wide *Web*, but strictly as leaf nodes forming a web in the Front Page sense, i.e. a very finite compound document. My understanding is that XHTML 2.0 is aimed at the sort of authors for which the web was originally intended, who like deep linking and outgoing links and care more about the information content than the branding. Generally "web designer" is a misnomer. It really means a copywriter for IE.
