Hi emailing list, (message contains Unicode characters) I am curious about the status of the required <div> container when including xhtml in text constructs. With it be changed to become optional instead? The below example never made much sense to me.
<feed … xmlns:xht="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> … <summary type="xhtml"> <xht:div> <xht:p>This is a <xht:em>summary</xht:em> paragraph.</xht:p> </xht:div> </summary> … </feed> Instead I am currently using a ‘hack’ which involves declaring the type as application/xhtml+xml instead of xhtml. It is not directly invalid, according to the Atom format specifications. However, it is not very well supported either. I always contain the XHTML in paragraphs or other XHTML element; so it stays valid XML all the time. <feed … xmlns:xht="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> … <summary type="application/xhtml+xml"> <xht:p>This is a <xht:em>summary</xht:em> paragraph.</xht:p> </summary> … </feed> Is there a better way of doing this? —with ‘better’, I am ‘better supported and with a higher adoption rate’. My main concern is that some feed readers may not be able to support my undocumented implementation/interpretation. Anyone got any experiences in this field? What about the <article> or <section> elements from the HTML 5 (+XML) working draft? They would both become much better containers than a meaningless <div> if it is absolutely required to have one. -- Daniel Aleksandersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
