Hello, In ``6. References'' [1] of ``Syntax of CSS rules in HTML's "style" attribute'' published on 5 March 2001, references to [HTML40] [2] and [XHTMLMOD] [3] are out of date. The same applies to a reference to [HTML40] [4] in ``CSS3 module: Color'' published on the same day. In css-style-attr, the following [2]: [HTML40] Raggett, D.; Le Hors, A.; Jacobs, I.. HTML 4.0 Specification. 8 July 1997. W3C Recommendation. URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40 should be [HTML40] Raggett, D.; Le Hors, A.; Jacobs, I.. HTML 4.0 Specification. 18 December 1997, revised on 24 April 1998. W3C Recommendation. URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424 The latest version of the HTML 4 Specification can be found at: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4 or something like that. Unfortunately if you want to specifically refer to HTML 4.0, the latest version URI <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40> doesn't work anymore - that URI now points to the HTML 4.01 Specification, for better or worse. I guess the intention of referring to HTML 4.0 instead of HTML 4.01 or HTML 4 is to emphasize the historial fact that the "style" attribute was first introduced in HTML 4.0, but it would be good to also mention the latest version of the HTML 4 series. Or, you may simply refer to HTML 4, if the distinction between HTML 4.0 and HTML 4.01 is not important for this specification. In the case of a reference to [HTML40] [4] in css3-color, I don't really see the need for referring to HTML 4.0 instead of HTML 4.01 or HTML 4. Actually ``4.1. [HTML4] color keywords'' [5] mentions [HTML4], but [HTML4] is missing in the references section. I would suggest to simply refer to [HTML4] throughout this specification. As for [XHTMLMOD] [3], the following: [XHTMLMOD] Modularization of XHTML(TM). 2000. W3C Candidate Recommendation. URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-modularization should be [XHTMLMOD] Modularization of XHTML(TM). 2001. W3C Proposed Recommendation. URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-modularization [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-css-style-attr-20010305#references [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-css-style-attr-20010305#HTML40 [3] http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-css-style-attr-20010305#XHTMLMOD [4] http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-css3-color-20010305#HTML40 [5] http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-css3-color-20010305#html4 Regards, -- Masayasu Ishikawa / mimasa@w3.org W3C - World Wide Web Consortium
