Thanks again for pointing this out. >Has the XHTML 1.1 spec been updated to make the usemap attribute type >"URI" instead of "IDREF"? Try * http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/ * http://www.w3.org/2001/05/REC-xhtml11-20010531-errata IOW, no. Statements such as the one above have no normative standing and are thus not a good reason to make changes to the Markup Validator. Here in particular note that * http://hades.mn.aptest.com/cgi-bin/voyager-issues/Modularization-abstractions?id=8502 the HTML Working Group comes to different conclusions every now and then which should explain why we do not react to such informal statements. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
