----------------------------------

Gavin, are you on the dev mailing list? If not please join us there (see 
http://forrest.apache.org/mail-lists.html)

In our current development drive for 0.8 we are planning a move to a new way of 
doing our output. Now is an ideal time to jump in and help as we have a proof 
of concept of what is to come next and are currently discussing exactly how to 
go about implmenting it.

I imagine, since the current skinning system is to be deprecated, this issue 
will be solved as part of this new approach.

To get you started on the background for this new system take a look at 
http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_80/views.html

I don't know if anyone has tried validating the output from this new technique 
yet. Perhaps that would be a good first step.

> Just go to the Forrest home page and click the HTML 4.01 Compliance button. 
> The page doesn't validate. Other sites, e.g. Apache FOP, created with the 
> same skin have the same problem. One issue I could identify is that in the 
> site2xhtml.xsl there are tags like: 
>     <input type="submit" value="Search" name="Search" i18n:attr="value"/>. 
> The 'i18n:attr="value"' bit creates a non HTML 4.01 compliant attribute. 
> Other problems are related to Javascript not being escaped correctly, e.g.  
>      document.write("<text>Last Published:</text> " + document.lastModified);
> should be written as
>    document.write("<text>Last Published:<\/text> " + document.lastModified);
> I assume a requirement of being allowed to put the W3C HTML 4.01 Compliant 
> logo on the site is that the pages correctly validate. Pages based on this 
> skin don't validate but do carry the logo. Sounds like a problem to me.
