I confess to having considerable reservations about this whole Apple/Mozilla/Opera-led initiative, and the following statement[1] /really/ causes me to wonder where they might seek to take us : > Generally speaking, authors are discouraged > from trying to use XML on the Web, because > XML has much stricter syntax rules than the > "HTML5" variant described above [...] Now XHTML v. HTML is one debate, but this is an entirely different kettle of fish. Is the Apple/Mozilla/Opera consortium really telling the world that the existence of strict syntax rules is a valid reason for rejecting an emergent technology ? I would have thought (and hoped) that exactly the opposite opinion would obtain and advice be given.
