I was told this change was trivial enough that it wasn't necessary for us to change our vote. ==================== The pseudo-attribute "type" in examples such as <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xml" href="#style1"?> should be dropped. The use of "type" for embedded XSLT stylesheets is not justified by any specifications. <LINK REL="stylesheet"> in HTML 4.0 references to EXTERNAL style sheets only. In fact, the title of the relevant subsection is "12.3.2 Links and EXTERNAL style sheets". The recommendation "Associating Style Sheets with XML documents" merely references to HTML 4.0, and thus it does not allow reference to internally embedded stylesheets. In the IETF-XML-MIME ML, there is a consensus that fragments do not have media types. We believe that the use of the type attribute for embedded stylesheets is inconsistent with this consensus.
