Hello , This comment is sent from the CDF WG All HTML examples conform to the HTML 4.0 strict DTD (defined in [HTML40]) unless otherwise indicated by a document type declaration. http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-CSS21-20050613/about.html#q15 They may do so, but unless they say so explicitly with a DOCTYPE declaration they are not valid; furthermore HTML 4 does not have a notion of well formedness or any lesser criterion than validity. HTML4 examples are thus either valid or junk. Please do not put junk in your examples. CDF WG requests that: - all examples conform to the minimum quality requirement, either well formedness for XML types or validity for HTML 4 - all examples are available in separate files as well as inline in the specification - that a greater variety of markup languages be used (or alternatively the claim that CSS is applicable to all XML formats withdrawn). W3C specifications are a good initial source of other XML formats. - that the majority of HTML examples be XHTML. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead
