[ discussion of basic vs. strict and validity wrt xhtml/html elided ]

| Very good point. A very strong +1.

Do we really want to go here? I hadn't interpreted the Atom format
spec as requiring that the content of the xhtml:div be valid according
to any particular schema. If that's our intent, I think this paragraph
needs to be reworded to make that clearer:

 3.  If the value of "type" is "xhtml", the content of atom:content
     MUST be a single XHTML div element
     [W3C.REC-xhtml-basic-20001219].  The XHTML div MUST contain XHTML
     text and markup that could validly appear within an XHTML div
     element.

I don't naturally associate the "MUST" in that last sentence with
"validity" in the sense of "MUST be valid". Perhaps I should.

But I hope not. I don't really want to have to rev the Atom format
spec when XHTML 2.0 comes out. With care, I want to just put XHTML 2.0
stuff in my xhtml:div elements and let the down-stream appliation work
it out.

At least that's what I think I want.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
