Since XHTML Basic is derrived from the XHTML 1.1 modules, it is important
to make sure that XHTML 1.1 has sufficiently fine grain modules defined, so
that significant endorsement can be made for the Basic subset based on
specific functional need for the common subset which should span current usage
of WML and Compact HTML features.
I believe the current XHTML 1.1 basic text module contains more features
than are expected on the lowest common denominator devices. Would it be possible
to remove items such as code, samp, and var from the basic text module? These
seem to be special interest markup that would be applied to markup of
code fragments. Are there other general purpose uses of these tags that
are essential to information exchange or electronic commerce? If not,
they do not belong in the "basic" profile.
