I didn't see a status of this document or where to send feedback, so I am sending it here. The section on doctype switching between quirks mode and standards mode should indicate which doctypes provide which result (quirks or standards) for which browsers (platform and version). There is some agreement here, but for example some browsers tresat XHTML 1.0 transitional as quirks mode while others treat it as standards mode. The current text seems to indicate that any DOCTYPE is always sufficient to switch on standards mode. A little more detail on what browsers were tested and what the results were would be helpful. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group Member, W3C Technical Architecture Group
