This issue interacts with the issue in my other thread "xml:base and xml:lang". If we change the spec to say something like: > Any atom-namespaced element in the Atom Document MAY have an > xml:base attribute. > > Any atom-namespaced element in an Atom Document MAY have an xml:lang > attribute Then the implication is that we are saying nothing about what attributes are allowed on XHTML-namespaced elements, and that is left for XHTML to define. But, I think that we should disallow xhtml attributes on the xhtml:div, otherwise implementors that copy the xhtml:div directly through to the renderer will be incorrect. So we either say: 1) atom:* elements MAY have xml:base and xml:lang attributes. The xhtml:div wrapper MUST NOT contain any attribute other than namespace attributes. or: 2) atom:* elements MAY have xml:base and xml:lang attributes. The xhtml:div wrapper MUST NOT contain any attribute other than namespace attributes and xml:lang. -- Dave
