Should they understand the only the most recent syntax, or should they make an effort to understand both versions? Will the validator be updated? User agents are only required to understand the latest syntax, however, some may understand the old syntax as well. My guess is that those currently under development will understand both for a while, but after a few months new versions may drop support for the old syntax. So sites really should plan on adopting the new syntax by the end of the year. Lorrie Cranor
