Hello. I request to change the axis attribute to a space-separated list of values in XHTML 2.0 Current definition: "This attribute may be used to place a cell into conceptual categories that can be considered to form axes in an n-dimensional space. User agents may give users access to these categories (e.g., the user may query the user agent for all cells that belong to certain categories, the user agent may present a table in the form of a table of contents, etc.). Please consult the section on categorizing cells for more information. The value of this attribute is a comma-separated list of category names." http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-xhtml2-20040722/mod-tables.html#adef_tables_axi s It is inconsistent with other attributes supporting lists of values by separating them with space. For example the headers attribute in the table module. Furthermore it makes it impossible to cooperate with css selectors which also define attribute selectors of space separated values (ex. E[foo~="warning"]) but not for comma separeted values. And since the purpose of AXIS is to support a filtering capability this can be very important. Greetings Tobias Schultze Btw: I also posted it at http://htmlwg.mn.aptest.com/cgi-bin/xhtml2-issues?findid=8061 but that tracker seems to be dead.
