With respect to: > "Even this is not a 100% solution as is still possible to encounter HTML documents that cannot be represented perfectly in XML" I wrote: > It would be helpful to elaborate how common such documents are and what kinds of problems in the lack of "perfect" representation might encounter. Karl replied: > Most details are available into > http://dev.w3.org/html5/html-xhtml-author-guide/html-xhtml-authoring-guide.html > So maybe it is just a question of linking to it. But the polyglot specification referenced above does not address the questions I asked: * How common are HTML documents that cannot be reasonably represented in XML? * What kinds of practical difficulties would arise for those documents (and how serious are those difficulties)? so no, my question isn't addressed by linking to that specification.
