But "just" referring to XHTML is not enough. Is every XHTML document an AtomPP introspection document? > This is another good reason to use our own profile. Profiles in XHTML [1] have no clear definition and I doubt we can normatively refer to XMDP [2]. This doesn't mean we cannot use XHTML, it means we'll have to define each and every constraint we add (classes, etc.) and provide an XMDP profile for information prupose only (similar to the RelaxNG schema of the atom-format) [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#profiles [2] http://www.gmpg.org/xmdp/description -- Thomas Broyer
