Well, those implementing the GRDDL standard MAY use Tidy or a similar HTML parsing library to turn HTML 4 in to XHTML 1.0, then parse XHTML 1.0 using XSLT. The HTML 5 people also have html5lib and other parsing libraries, which one could implement. The GRDDL specification defines the transformation process for XHTML and XML, but HTML can be authored in the same way as XHTML for GRDDL. I have put this infomration on the wiki page: http://microformats.org/wiki/grddl "Restricting GRDDL to XHTML would seem to be unnecessarily limiting." (from the wiki page) GRDDL is not restricted to XHTML. The GRDDL standard specifies that GRDDL is for XHTML, but HTML 4 can be used with GRDDL so long as the parsing agent supports HTML 4. If GRDDL was restricted to XHTML, then the specification would state that GRDDL implementations must not parse HTML 4. GRDDL processors ought to support XHTML, since that is in the specification - but they may support HTML as well. It may not be technically possible for some GRDDL processors to parse HTML 4, so it's not a requirement. -- Tom Morris http://tommorris.org/ _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
