So far the HTML WG and WHATWG have not been able to find the resources to split the current specification into several. (And if we get those resources there are other sections worthy of being split out first, such as ECMAScript timers.) > Le 16 avr. 08 à 17:21, Anne van Kesteren a écrit : >>>> (XHTML5 is the XML serialization of the HTML 5 language.

Ok. (Note though that document.write() interacts with the parser and that therefore the "model" and the "syntax parser" are intertwined. See also <script src=...></script> loading, <script>...</script> execution, innerHTML, etc.) -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
