Dear XML Schema Working Group, http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xmlschema-0-20041028/ http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xmlschema-1-20041028/ http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xmlschema-2-20041028/ All these documents are horribly inconsistent with the observations in <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#guidelines>, they use syntax such as <p/> or <a/> which is not compatible with HTML user agents; for some things it might not be possible to note visual differences, but various assistive technologies break when confroted with such markup, e.g. the thread http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=7n13605024figsokutl2qdsncpdfbk2g3a@4ax.com discusses such a problem. So these documents are likely much less accessible than they should and could be, and http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/ discourages delivering such documents using the text/html type. There is an experimental tool at http://qa-dev.w3.org/~bjoern/appendix-c/validator/ that helps to find such flaws, further HTML Tidy http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ will help to fix the documents. Please correct these flaws as soon as possible. regards.
