ACCESS Comment for XHTML Basic 1.1 Last Call Working Draft
(http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xhtml-basic-20060705/) 2006.08.04

ACCESS appreciates the W3C effort to converge W3C XHTML Basic 1.0
and OMA XHTML Mobile Profile 1.2,
which will be crucial for the emerging mobile Internet market.

The only comment is concern for the target attribute, which is not a
part of existing .
We consider that it is derived from the W3C strive for CDF.
We think it is an important issue, however, it is better addressed in the
whole landscape with processing models and event handling, not just an
inclusion of the target attribute.
Inclusion of the target attribute in the browser arena may increase a
potential interoperability problems, with potential misuse with
undefined frame
modules, because target attributes are used in the multiple frame
contexts in a
browser.
We recommend to defer the inclusion of the target attribute to the
future version.
We expect a successful convergence step in XHTML Basic 1.1 to
fulfillthe growing market needs and reduce the pains in the mobile content
authoring.
We emphasize the importance of the sharing a common markup language
with identical modules between W3C and OMA for the basis of the mobile
Internet.
