Non-XHTML Host Language conforming documents in the context of this specification are "XHTML Integration Set Document"s. It is fairly standard practice for specifications to include rules about naming for conforming documents. XML for instance says that attributes that begin with the three letters "xml" are reserved. This rule does not apply to SGML documents (or Pascal programs for that matter). Steven
