So is such a browser "still working today" or isn't it? I thought you were saying it wasn't working. Don't get me wrong, it's just that this argument of yours isn't a very good one. The real question here is whether we want to be backwards compatible with HTML 3(.2) browsers. It's not just about fragment anchors. _If_ we wanted to support HTML 3(.2) browsers, we would have to go _all_ the way, and I don't think (mostly) complete HTML 3(.2) backwards compatibility can be justified in 2007. > The W3C validator doesn't check XHTML appendix C stuff (impossible with a > DTD), you've to know it. > > Trying http://schneegans.de/sv/, no, also doesn't check this. Well, that's because not having "name" attributes in addition to "id" attributes is not a violation of HTML 4 or XHTML. It shouldn't even cause a warning. > But it found an XHTML 1.0 strict issue: I think the Wiki should stick to > transitional, or are you systematically trying to fix strict errors ? You are right. It should be XHTML 1.0 Transitional. I fixed that right away. There are still an issue with <br> and <hr> tags, though, which must be _either_ single start tags (for HTML4/SGML) _or_ XML-style empty tags (<br/>, <hr/>, for XHTML). As far as I know, XML-style empty tags aren't allowed in SGML, are they? Thus the website's wiki formatter library has to choose between one of the two forms, and the current choice is SGML. I will take this up with the formatter library's author and ask him to make this configurable so we can emit proper XHTML. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF/S3CwL7PKlBZWjsRAnNQAKDnWBnbJT9yQPWWFb7jVma9CywTZwCeI3/M aJXGU3KBT3GAeQhouFOzwgk= =ZLCk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?list_id=1996
